Thats what i fear about using this on Anthelia, each little piece that gets away will start growing somewhere else. I really want to try this though

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!

[SeaShell]

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....

were do you e one of those sonics scrubbers? I saw it on TV ......... but do local shops sell them?

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.

I was thinking of my shower stall.

That would work too!

[Murminator]

it can be used underwater?

[Raf]

yes, fully submersible to, well at least to a depth of a large tank. Has an o-ring built into the th battery housing.

I use it for servicing. At first i thought the sonic vibrations would freak the fish out but surprisingly they just look at it.

And Anthony, this is not my toothbrush anymore
