Please give us an update after a week or so. The ones I have in holes all seem to come back.

You have to be able to really get the entire anemone or it will grow back. The Majano Wand works well if you can get the entire anemone. I want one with a much shorter handle so I can move it around better in the tank. I don't mind getting my hand and arm wet if I can get the tip of the wand in there and do a better job of getting the entire anemone.

BTW, I'm the guy who introduced the 1W Survival laser for killing aiptasia and it has the exact same problem and costs twice as much.

The problem I have with the Wand is that most of the aiptasia I need to zap are on the sides of the rocks. I can't get the probe into the hole in the rock the aiptasia retreats into, and trying to hit it with the side of the probe is ineffective.

Since the Wand is basically ineffective for me as it is, I'm thinking about trying to gently heat the acrylic rod and bend it so that the probe is at an angle that will allow me to attack aiptasia attached to the sides of the rocks.

I was a little suscssful in a few of them. But yeaup some of them go inside the rock and Can't get them M*&^FFFF.... LOLO

Hi Ron Reefman yes i was gonna buy the 2.5+W Dominator, 1x26650 blue laser but to expensive i think it was like 360. Made by Blord.
I probably will get it later on in the future..

Question the laser affect the glass ???

Thankks

I has the best success with Red Sea Aiptasia-X but I had to buy the pricey large refill bottle and I still have to battle them weekly.

Can get cheap waterproof lasers at o-like.com they can melt tape and pop balloons sure they could kill aiptasia too

No effect on glass and the only effect on acrylic or silicone seals is if you focus the laser right at the surface, like an aiptasia right on the acrylic. These lasers don't send out a beam that is powerful for the entire length. It's only really strong (read: hot) at and very, very near the point of focus. Just an couple of inches away from the focal point won't be strong enough to kill aiptasia.

Don't bet on it. And working the focus on a waterproof laser isn't as easy as it sounds. And the laser is still 8" long which makes it very difficult to get into too many places. At least the Majano Wand has a bent end which helps. But I still want a shorter handle version (the shorter the better)! The waterproof laser is fussy and messy. Mine is waterproof and I gave up on it in the water. I use the laser and Paul's Majano Wand to seriously hurt the aiptasia (which makes them small and immobile) and then cover the spot where it was with Aiptasia-X.
