This or a tooth brush

I’m about to order that, it’ll be here Friday if I do.

I set mine on the sand bed and eventually the clean up crew will do its job

I may try that

Check my most recent post! I set them in the sand bed and after a few hours the difference is crazy!

Are you able to remove the plug?

Sadly no. I have no way of getting it off

I know you can spot treat with hydrogen peroxide, but I'm not sure of the exact instructions.

Right I ordered the flux rx. It’ll be here Friday. I need it anyway because of bryopsis algae

Take a super soft toothbrush and gently brush it off.

Wouldn’t that hurt the zoa? It’s growing like inbetween the heads. It’s also on just the plug too

I don’t know that I would worry about this one as much as I’d be more worried about the whole tank. From what I see, you have a heavy amount of algae that needs to be addressed.
