tetraodon Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 So I recently fragged some coral zoas, white star polyps, and such, some of the frags have algae growing on them: hair, razor chapurla, red algae. I was wondering if they would be ok in h2o2 dip before I sell? Link to comment
brandon429 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 to be honest you should cure them before you sell really thats the case post pics we can forsee what w happen should be easy fix as most you listed are p tolerant. consider that fresh fragging and peroxiding isn't the same as peroxiding a coral thats 10 months established and growing...kind of a double stressor but still doable I think. need pics Link to comment
tetraodon Posted February 7, 2014 Author Share Posted February 7, 2014 Well they where fragged about 2 weeks ago, the zoas are fully opening and I saw a new head on one of the frags, the white stars are a little pissy but they open fpr the most part Link to comment
glennr1978 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 I reluctantly did a peroxide dip on a large zoa colony that was in bad shape after shipping. It was covered in a white fungus, smelled horrible, and polyps were melting fast. To me, peroxide seems a bit extreme and was my last resort. The polyps werent happy for the first few days after the dip but a couple of weeks later they were the healthiest looking zoas in the tank. I'm sold on peroxide dips now, but I'm not sure if it's a good idea for freshly fragged zoas. Link to comment
