I plan on ordering a laser for my aptasia issue very soon. I have done a lot of looking around and from what I read the cheapest and most effect website you can get them from is here.

Cyber 445nm - 1.2W Focusable Blue Laser Pointer

That's pretty much what it looks like it's a long tube like thing it is firm but soft and has a brown tip and extends in size and gets smaller the only good pic i can get as I'm using my phone.

We bought a group of peppermints and never saw an aptasia., at least six months. The only time we had a problem was during feeding time the shrimp smell the food the corals are eating and try to steal it from them. The peppermints ignore ball tip anemones though. Were pretty sure our peppermints are breeding regularly and thus free food for tank. Our emerald crab took care of our bubble algae and now grooms our reef. We got three but pretty sure he killed the smaller two crabs.

My mother Aptasia is in good viewing for a laser pointer. Now I can see SEVERAL other babies. Is there a pointer strength I should be aware of. I only have a 30g. I am going to get a couple of peppermint shrimp first. My emerald crabs took care of all my bubble algae. I learn something new everyday here. Thank you to all

445 spectrum. And the strongest you can find. Shoot it right through your glass with all pumps off.

Reefing Madness · Jan 26, 2014

Can you be more specific on Laser strength? Can you give me a mW reading on it?
I have a 532nm 5mW Laser, and it doesn't do anything.

briany66 · Jan 26, 2014

Wrong spectrum. 445nm is blue go to laser pointer forums . Mine was a 1.2 if I remember correctly.

Reefing Madness · Jan 26, 2014

I just looked em up, lowest mw is 800 used for killing Aiptasia, lil expensive for my taste also.
Thanks
