Zoo help

[Koolaidreef]

Their is some fungus growing on my clementine colony. I bought it that way and was thinking of selling it but really don't want to frag it up. I brushed some algae off the polyps and that Hirt them. Some open up but others are have the aka he all over them. Any suggestions. This is a matting alahe not really hair. Thanks! Any help appreciated. 5 out of 10 polyps I think open. One polyp is morphed to all blue

I have dipped frags in hydrogen peroxide for 2-3min to kill algae on them. Take some tank water to rinse the frags after the hydro perox dip.

Thanks. Where can I get hydrogen peroxide and how much should I add thanks

You can get it at any CVS, Walgreens, RiteAid, etc. I just put some in a plastic cup (enough to completely submerge the pc.). Set a timer for 3 min, when times up, I remove and rinse in another cup with tank water, then place back in the DT. Its gonna piss the zoas off a little bit. They will probably stay closed for a few days, at least. This is a bit harsh, but it's just the way I do it. There may be other ways that aren't so rough. GL.

Its good for zoos. Not for everything. I killed a small frag of xenia dipping this way. Be careful what you dip.
