I am having issues in my frag tank with bryposis and it spread onto the frag plugs and skin of corals so i took everything out including the eggcrate and did a 20-1 hydrogen peroxide dip. After 10 minutes i took the Jack-o-lantern out and it lost all of its color. Do you think it will recover? Its the only coral that lost all its color from the dip and i dipped acros and chalices
 
I normally do a 50/50 mix for 2/3
Min and sps/lps/zoas all seem to fair fine. Zoas open up in like 5 min after dip. Lps fine then next day and sps hit or miss sometime no color loss other time take them a few days to color back
Up.
 
Leptoseris corals have been extremely finicky in my experience. They seem to hate fragging, dips, whatever...no idea why. I've had the same issue with them...everything else (including SPS) are fine, but they get upset easily. I've saved 3 that I thought were goners...including one that I swear had nothing left on it. Just save it...feed it if possible...cross your fingers.

I should also mention I'm rescuing a JF Jack-o-Lantern from a guy who had the same problem. It's coming back nicely though!
 
It turned almost white and is now showing some colors again even though not as bright as it was. Dont think i killed it but def will not be dipping in H202 again
