My zoas had some algae on them so i h202 dipped then two days ago. They arent opening all the way. When i used to do the h202 dip they would open up within a few hours or the next day. Should i maybe dip in iodine or leave alone. Or a small water change. My other corals including sps are opening fine. Its just the zoas

Doesn't look like a crisis to me honestly. If you do an aggressive dip of H2O2 youre burning the skin so they will take time to recover. Did that with my Punk Rockers and they are looking great now, also used Flux RX if you continue to have algae problems. Absolutely crushed the algae I had in my tank.

I did use a new bottle of h202 i dipped 50 saltwater to h202 for two minutes. I should have prob blow them off a bit more afterwards. Im not getting that much algae but ill keep it in mind.

Yeah, I always rinse in RODI after I dip them. I'd give it time though, when I did it they shed their skin and then came up better than ever after that.
Now that you mention it, i remember the frist time i did it my zoas also did that. Ive dipped acans before without problem however.

Just wait it out imo.. but make sure you take a flash light on them at night.. ive had amphopods eat my zoanthids when they get even the slightest sick.. hate those things
