Yeah, I should say, I did 4 parts tank water :1 part 3% hydrogen peroxide for 5 minutes.

I've been peroxide dipping zoas/palys for a few years now. I use 10% peroxide to water and dip 15 minutes. Kills all algae, zoa eating nudies as well as their eggs(my main reason for dipping), flatworms, and other nasties. It also stops zoa fungus(my other reason). Killing algae was just a bonus.

I haven't seen these two surviving blue zoas this wide open in months. Great little trick!

And cost effective! Thanks to Daniella3D for teaching me this one haha (I think I owe her a frag of my purple hornets )))

It's been a few days... both dipped pieces are SPOTLESS. You can't find even a hint of green anywhere on them and all polyps are out. I wish I could safely dose the stuff direct to the display lol.

Awesome! Wonder if the dip would melt these nasty blue clove polyps growing on my zoas?

Its a realy awesome method, and I'm glad to hear its worked for so many, as well as helped your problem Brett! Hope your Zoo's come back stronger then ever! Don't be afraid to give them a second dip in a few weeks if you notice anymore algae or fungus or anything, they are fairly hardy from what I am learning, and will survive quick the beating.

Haven't tried this method but from what I have read on this thread, couldn't this method be used as an effective coral dip for new zoasthat you are introducing into your tank?

Also, couldn't this be used to a lesser degree as adip for the plug/rock base of an sps frag or the stalk of branching LPS like frogspawn?
