Just received a dragon soul torch I dipped in seachem reef dip iodide and placed in the tank it opened up good and looked well. A few days later I dipped it in 50/50 hydrogen peroxide and tank water for 5 min. to remove algae after the dip it went back into qt and it formed air bubbles in the tips of each tentacle I literally watched on tentacle pop in the qt.
has anyone seen this before? Or has anyone dipped torches this way before ? Also any suggestions about recovery? 766D964C-69D8-4CCF-B563-845837057FCD.jpeg

Some coral can take peroxide and some can't. I've killed my share with it. As you see, a touch is not a good candidate. Sometimes I'll use a syringe to spray the skeleton, but I wouldn't dip the flesh. Touches are somewhat delicate in my experience. My dip: Bayer then Seachem Reef Dip (iodine).
