Help with Rasta polyp that won’t open!

[Saltyreef]

Did you dip them in straight peroxide or did you dilute it?

Diluted until I saw decent bubbles coming from the bases

You should have not bushed it. The peroxide would’ve done the work itself. By brushing it, you upset the zoas and caused them to release their zoanthaxellae, tiny dinoflagellates that give the zoas their color. That’s why the coloration is off. You will probably have to wait a couple days before you’ll see them open. You may have to do an iodine dip in a few days.
