How do I get rid if gha on my coral frags without damaging my corals??

I have a candy cane that doesn't open as full as it used to since 1) the lights stayed on too long and bleached everything
2) algae started growing on the coral itself .
3) I found aptasia growing on the base of the frag .
I would like to hear how to rid corals of algae
 
I've dipped my algae covered frags in a mixture of peroxide and salt water and have had pretty good success. Not sure what others think but it works for me. Just gotta leave it in the mix for a few minutes then rinse off in fresh salted water and back in they go. The algae dies off within a few days usually if its alot or even faster if its just a little bit.

Is it regular hydrogen peroxide from the drug store you use ?
Is there a mix ratio ?
I was told to use a tooth brush and lemon juice or vinegar ?
The lemon juice will kill corals ?
