Any laser owners want to lend or rent their expertise to rid one man's life of Aiptasia?

I have very few visible and one of them is in a very difficult spot to get to. If you're armed with a strong laser and want to give, trade or sell your services I'm all ears.

(just realized this might have been better in the pests forum...my bad. Mod please move where appropriate if this forum isn't it...thanks.)

I have some sharks with lasers on their heads living in a pool under my living room floor. I would bring one over, but they don't like it when I touch their lasers.

You totally should. And then you should come over for a few beers.

That is unless I can get Dr Evil to bring a laser armed shark or find a waterproof .45...

They have to be pretty strong...just this side of legal. Do a google search and you'll find all the info you need. Or you can just search RC.

I got pretty excited because I own a 200mw laser (green) and thought it would work. It will burn your skin if held steady, cut tape, lite matches and all that such, But it seems like what others are using are even larger than this one. If i had some aptasia (thank gosh i dont ) I would try mounting this one to my tripod and see if a longer exposure time with it being steady would do the trick

Hey so I busted out my laser here and found a small aptasia, and it seems to be working, but i gotta check in a while to see if its really gone. I mounted it to a tripod and set it there for like 10 min, and it shriveled up and it looks pretty dead, but ill see how it goes and try it again for a longer time if it actually didnt kill the thing

the anti-aiptasia laser that made a buzz on this website was 1.8watts, yes WATTS. so yeah, it is very dangerous.
