Detritus on ZOAs

[Reaper_Six_Four]

So one of my Zoas have been pretty ticked lately, been closed.

I’m having some trouble getting detritus off the stalks, be used a baster to get it off and while some blows off of the heads, most of it on the stalk remains.

Anyone recommend any other method? I just wanna make sure it’s not too invasive to the point of damage.

Thanks!

A soft brush like a makeup brush could work without being too rough on the zoas.

U can twist or shake the frags in a cup of tank water it might cause some more agitation than a baster, for other algae 3% peroxide mix works well & got detritus off for me too, maybe a really really diluted version could low stress remove only detritus?
