Hello everyone,

I wanted to dip some of my corals and also a small piece of rock that have some nuisance algae in a peroxide mixture. I'll look up the mixing ratio in the forum but, my question is are there certain types of corals that should not be dipped in this type of solution? For example zoas are fine but echinata are a no go.

Thanks

Don't dip SPS corals in peroxide...i learned the hard way!

I've had success with Palys, Blastomussa, Acans, trumpets...i can't remember if i dipped my duncan or not.

Palys i went full strength for less than 2 min. Others i mixed a 50/50 peroxide solution.
