Sorry Kien. Unless you're a Doctor of Proctology, there will no videos or demonstrations.

So, I tried out the "Aiptasia Zapper" this afternoon and the verdict is:

It does work; unfortunately most Aiptasia escape into their hole in the rock before you can give them a real good jolt. It does work very good on Majanos though. Fries them up nice 'n 'toasty. It does not do a very good job on mushrooms or leathers.


Score Card:

- 6 Aiptasia attacked: 3 Aiptasia destroyed/3 Aiptasia peeking out of their holes
and laughing at me.
- 5 out of 5 Majanos nuked.
- 3 mushrooms attacked and 3 mushrooms looking pouty but definitely not dead

Doug, you have to hold the probe on them for a few seconds to really nuke 'em. If they have a hidey-hole you can't get at them long enough.

I think what we need is a crazy glue gel dispenser. It's built so you can twist it into an shape from a 2 foot straight stick to a curved attack rod. Depress the dry end to dispense crazy glue gel wherever you need it.

I counted 8 seconds in the progressive reef video, thats about 4x longer than I was doing it for.
