If you search for peroxide dip you ought to find a good bit of info, I did a while back when I stumbled across the concept.

In my case it worked pretty well. Based on what I read, the concentrations used varied. I can only speak to my specific experience. I use a 50/50 mix of 3% peroxide solution (from what I recall this is rather high concentration) and tank water and dipped my, at the time neglected, sun coral in it, swirling it around, for 2 minutes. I did this once every 3 days or so for 3 treatments and the algae receded and was gone. Sun Coral did not appear any worse for wear.

Thanks,
Joe
