Phosphate is definitely something important to keep an eye on. Personally I believe they're as important as the 3 majors & Nitrates. Too high of phosphates can cause algae blooms and corals like Acans and others are sensitive to high phosphates. Zoos aside I would buy a phosphate test kit or Hanna Checker. I have two Hannas a ULR Phosphorus and Low range Phosphate.

Peppermint shrimp don’t always eat aiptasia won’t hurt to check... and if everything else is open I would give the zoa a day or two because you dipped in peroxide... after that time of it doesn’t open try the Furan-2 or chemiclean in a separate container followed by iodine dip

Ah yes Oscar thank you. I forgot to say that Peppermints don't always eat aptasias. It's a specific species only that does so unless you know which one you're getting it's a crap shoot. I've had many over the years and never have had them eat an aptasia. I always just use Aptasia X, something very satisfying about injecting an aptasia with it lol
