What kind of algae

[Andrewk5018]

So i have these 3 zoa plugs that keep growing this algae on them that is has like the consistency of one of those roll out golf putter mats or like on a putt putt course. It doesn’t come off the plug at all with a tooth brush. I even put them in a 100% peroxide dip for 5-6 minutes yesterday and it did absolutely nothing to it. This is the best picture i can get of it

I can't see anything with that quality of pic unfortunately. I can't even see any zoas on there but if they are contaminated bare plugs toss them.

cant let it dry out, there's zoas on it. they're just still closed from the peroxide and messing with them late last night

you probably won't get the green gone

I'm going to take them out and put them in a smaller container at the top under the lights still and use flux rx. if that doesn't work then ill just have to toss them. I don't have it anywhere else in the tank. They've been like this for 2 months probably. these frags came from vivid aquariums
