Hello all,

I purchased a red montipora yesterday at my LFS. It was very bright and vibrant in color and when i brought it home i dipped it in bayer and h202 because it had hair algae on it. I immediately pulled it out of the h202 (maybe 15 seconds) realizing that it was a 3% mixture not watered down (i forgot to dilute the peroxide). It immediately fizzed up so I rinsed it with fresh tank water and I put it in the tank. It has lots of flow and light. All my zoas and hammers are fine, however, the montipora lost almost all of its color and I can only see the red polyps. Did i kill it?
 
Here are some pics

It looks dead or bleached but if the polyps are still there it may have a chance keep it in the tank and keep params stable and it may come back
