I sure do! I will try it on some little aptasia in my seahorse tank... although I fear each little tiny peice of shredded aptasia will spawn a new one? Granted I have a good supply of joe's juice on hand as well.... muwahaha!

So, I'm guessing that's not your personal toothbrush, right? Raf, you might want to go buy a new toothbrush. And you thought Colgate came out with a new nasty flavour.

From what I've seen so far, the sudden shock causes it to expell its zooxanthelle, so even the peices that may float away (most of it shrinks into nothing) are bleached and therefore have a minimal chance of survival.

Haha, Anthony, I dont think even an elephant would want to use this as a tooth brush... that sonic scrubbing action is pretty powerful!

Hmmmm, I wonder if it would work on unwanted, maddly spreading, Zenia. Or would each little bit of Zenia attach to a separate rock and grow....

Raf got it at Linens and Things for $17 plus the extra attatchements. Its also a fantastic tool for scrubbing algae off of rock. We just rinse it under fresh water after use.
