Hey guys got a question... I have an acro that experienced some STN from the base up but recovered. The area that died now has a bit of hair/turf algae growing on it. is there a way to spot treat the area with peroxide or will it hurt the healthy coral tissue?

Thanks in advance!
 
you would have to remove it from the tank, but you should be fine spot treating it.
 
Awesome thank you... yea its on its own rock. I just didnt really feel like fragging it cause its still kind of a small colony
