Hair Algae on couple frag plugs

[joe-ejs]

Hello.

I recently purchased a couple Zoa's frags add there is now hair algae growing on the plugs. What is the best way to get rid of it? I believe Hydrogen Peroxide is a good option, but I am not sure of the ratio of Hydrogen Peroxide / Water to use, and also how long to dip the Zoa frag.

Any advice is much appreciated.
Thanks!

Do you have crabs in your tank? If so put frags in sandbed... Crabs will completely remove all algae

2 parts water to 1 part hydrogen peroxide should be fine. you should see a few bubbles form within about 10 seconds.
You can mix as much as 1/2 and 1/2, but it may stress the coral. Don’t leave it in for more than about 1.5 to 2 minutes. If you can reach the algae without touching the polyps, dip a Q-tip into pure peroxide and dab the algae.
Using hydrogen peroxide may also help with any unseen aiptasia hitchhikers; zoas are known for hiding them.
good luck!
