fragging question

[SteveZ15]

I have a rasta frag in having trouble with,the plug is plastic and has some green algae on it and it is on the polyps and keeping them closed,I put them infront of the powerhead and wiped them off but next day algae on them again.Can I take a razor and slide it across the bottom of the plug to get them off and glue to a piece of rubble.I even tried to wipe them and dip but the algae comes back.this is the only plug that had this I think because its plastic.What else can I do I think these might not make it if I dont get them off there some how.

Dip in 50/50 mix of tank water and hyrdogen peroxide for a few mins. You will see the algae start to bubble. This will close zoas but they will open back up in a few hours.

I will try,is there any way I can get them off the plug I think the plastic will just grow it back?

Are they on a piece of rubble glued to the frag plug? If so, you can use bones cutters or possibly scissors to pop the rubble off the frag plug and then glue it directly onto your aquascaping.

+1 on the hydrogen peroxide mix. I've done it with great results.
