A nuisance to some, some like. Don’t worry about them righ now though. Ur don’t have time todayI haven't seen these in the tank before what are they and are they good or bad?
Agree, but no today - too many plates jugglimg
Asterina stars (commonly known, but really Aquilonastra). Mixed reviews on whether good or bad. Most like to take them out because they can reproduce too rapidly. Slide them off the glass and collect them to discard.I haven't seen these in the tank before what are they and are they good or bad?
Montis can be a bit funny for me. Sometimes I pass them off as duds only to find explosive growth months later.¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The peroxide has likely all converted to water and singlet oxygen by now. That is a relatively fast reaction in a tank (just like on cuts and scrapes). I'd check your tank's pH. Water change might help, but I don't know how much your tank's chemistry has changed. Animals might just be in shock or experienced a wild swing in pH/oxygen levels. The urchin is what worries me the most--they don't like change.Guys I feel like an idiot and an awful fish mom! I read that I could dose the tank with peroxide to help with the algea on several sites including r2r and since I have often dosed freshwater with it for black brush algea I felt safe using it. I tried it last night with just a partial dose and it killed my Peppermint shrimp and I think also the 4 corals I had in the tank. I didn't even dose at full strength. The fish all seem to be fine but I haven't seen my hermits or snails yet and my Pincushion hasn't moved but could just be sleeping still. I am heart broken and just sick about this! I don't even know what to do now... should I do a water change to make sure there is no peroxide left or add carbon to my sump or both...
Up until now they were airways on the glass or rocks but now they are all laying at the bottom of the tank.
Heading to church now I can call later today if that's ok.
Anytime - just laying here staring at tank
I would do both. I used it the same way back in the day when I had gha with no ill effects. Are you sure you used 3%? The right percentage and dosage should not have done that. So sorry for your loss!Guys I feel like an idiot and an awful fish mom!

H2O2 - Hydrogen Peroxide
I used too much I did the math wrong... getting ready to do the second water change just got home and had to take care of dogs first. Should I remove the corals or leave them to see if they might bounce back? Urchin and snails are dead Hermits, emerald and fish all seem to be fine.
Just got home urchin and snails are dead. Hermits, fish and crabs all seem fine.
I would leave them but keep a close eye on them. The leather I would pull and make sure you continue to run carbon. So sorry this happened!
