I use it for zoantids. 1 part hydrogen peroxide an 4 parts tank water for 6 minutes. Some acros are ok with it,, Chalices hate it. Monits seem to suffer with it , calsutea and euphylillia tolerat it. It cleans up zoantids frags infested withsome algae,most notably red turf algae. It does not howerver knock out bryopsis,ime.

The Bayer insecticides do well as a dip. I use the Avanced complete insect killer for soil and turf concentrate at 30ml for 1500 ml of tank water for 5minutes. This is followed by a long soak, at least an hour in a gallon or two of tank water with a powerhead to remove and cyfluthurin hanging around( it's highly toxic to fish).
