Case study: white mouth parasite successfully treated with hydrogen peroxide

[ReefAZ]

Maroon clownfish: I had posted questions about this and wanted to follow-up with a success story.
See pictures...the maroon clown had been through Humblefish's protocol
with chloroquine phosphate (and a digital scale) for 12 days. All good. Then
about 10 days later, I noticed a white parasite attached to the fish's mouth/lips.
I did a search and could not find anything about this on R2R, etc. so consulted this group.
I first tried freshwater bath, no results. Then I tried hydrogen peroxide bath
per humblefish's protocol and SUCCESS. That parasite was gone in just a few minutes.
That was 4 days ago and all seems good. I'll post further if there are any developments but
I hope not. Perhaps this can help someone in the future.

Thanks for the information. I never know when I might need to know.

Apparently I might be the only reef tank owner who has faced this problem (or at least posted on it), but...just it case any folk read or search later, ...there it is! Thanks for response.

Been a while but I have the same problem! The parasite is black however and it happened after mixing up my send bed ah. Thanks though gonna try HP for a few minutes and see how it works, how much hydrogen peroxide to water did you use?
