I'm a first time reefer, and yesterday I gave my first two zoa frags a 30 sec 3% hydrogen peroxide dip, which nuked the algae on the plugs, but they didn't seem to enjoy it very much, and are now, a day later, only about 2/3 opened back up. Also, last night, my clown fish mysteriously disappeared. I can't be sure of this but I think he jumped out of the tank and onto the floor, and was eaten by my dog, because there was a vaguely fish-shaped and sized slimey puddle on the floor. My question is, could stressing the zoas out cause them to release palytoxin, which then caused the fish to jump out of the tank? I've never heard of something like that causing a fish to jump, but I couldn't think of anything else that could have caused it. I'm passively running ROX 0.8 carbon, which I thought would deal with most toxins or pollutants. Any help would be appreciated!
