So I am working on getting rid of some algae, mainly on my rocks. What’s been working is each day I will pull a rock out, scrub it down, then spray it really good with peroxide outside the tank and let it sit for a few minutes before putting it back.

My question is: I have a couple of rocks with a couple of Aiptasia on them—does anyone know if the peroxide will do anything to eliminate them, or should I find an alternative treatment for them?

If youre pulling rocks out just put some aiptasia x, vinegar boiling water, lemon juice, etc on them. After you kill them epoxy or super glue over them.

Peroxide on a toothbrush will eradicate Aptasia immediately. Peroxide will completely dissolve the pest, just brush it away. Nothing more required.
