I've seen these on youtube a few times, I wonder if it affects the surrounding corals, I mean it would have to with that kind of intensity, and what if a fish swam through the beam! lol but yeah they are kick ass, if you didnt use it on your aiptasia you could always get the cat to chase it haha

i could just imagine the burn marks on the floor and walls having the catch chase it. callit lazer graffiti..

i read through the thread and i agree with most in it being too dangerous. just think of a stray beam getting into your/your childs/other pets eye as they come to see what daddy is doing. and your child is blind forever more. there are safer methods they work. there is enough dangers in the hobby with just the corals and livestock.

for me two thumbsdown

YOu can see the zoanthids retracting when it was touched by the laser. I am pretty sure that in this case that laser did more dammage to the zoa than the aiptasia itself.

I would be afraid to use it anyway because it will burn everything that gets on its way, including any available eyes on its path.

Wouldn't this cause weakness in the glass at the point it enters the tank?

Im thinking this is as fake as the guy reviving frozen fish in a bowl of water
