Yes, it works well for zoas. How about all SPS and LPS corals? and what strength and time?

Thousands of dips have happened even with sps and lps but its not what I would do. I always target-apply peroxide without touching the coral flesh, surgically, outside the tank.
we have thousands of in-tank treatments on file where sps and lps were not harmed by doses averaging 1-2 mils per ten gallons of water into the display (to burn algae, dinos etc) above that range you get into variable lethality.
in my peroxide threads I recall sps tanks getting dosed as high as 4 mils per 10 gallons still no harm, we dont know how far above 1-2 mils per ten gallons you can go as a general dip.
what are you hoping to control off the frags with it

Brandon, et al.
Thanks for your attention. Based on this feedback, I will spot treat with 100% H2O2, likely using Q-tip, outside of tank. By 100%, I mean full strength with over-the-counter drug store stuff. I will let the application soak in for a minute or two then return to tank.
