Pretty damn cool for sure. I would think though that it would be as efficient as an aptasia zapper that uses electricity. And from personal experiences, all that does is make them multiply a lot faster. But that laser makes dealing with them a lot easier I guess.

why don't you just cut them off with a razorblade? Maybe a few will grow back but kalk those instead of the whole lot, and sell, trade or give away the frags. Or flush them down the toilet if you really hate them.

My tank is 30" deep and stands over 6' tall. I have to stand on a chair to work on it. It's hard to work in and to reach the bottom I always get my tits wet
Plus I've been to lazy and let them get outta hand. And Slyguy I have an aptasia zapper already and it's kind of a piece of crap

Yea they are a piece of crap, that was kinda my point lol. They work about as well as any other aptasia killer. Just spreads spores everywhere. To avoid getting wet, could always drain water a little bit

What's a piece of crap? The laser or the zapper? The zapper works great from my experience but a piece of crap to me due to the way I built it. I cheaped out on parts. I've been researching the lasers and even joined a forum on laser burners to ask questions. I haven't decided on which model to order yet.

Try searching that forum for "anemone" just a brief read suggests it's been discussed several times there before. Keen to know myself... I ordered a green handheld 5mw laser from eBay a while ago that showed a picture of it lighting a match. Definitley not enough power to even bother a reef pest, I'm sure you know that already too
Sounds like you may have another hobby on your hands, let us know what your research finds, I'll try to help find info as well
