This thread will document a case study of cleaning Halymenia dilatata of epiphyte growth using hydrogen peroxide.
I use hydrogen peroxide to kill all algae on coral plugs: 10 minute dip at 10% hydrogen peroxide (store bought at 3%). I use 35% H2O2 so I tone it down to 1% mixture. This dip is indiscriminate. It will oxidize everything it touches, including pods, micro stars, bristle worms and the list goes on. Coral mucus protects coral. This dip will not eradicate Aptasia because of slime coat.
Dragon’s Tongue is the Pacific version of Gulf of Mexico Dragon’s Breath cultivars which are easily torn.
