Zapping mojanos

A friend of mine owns a LFS near my home and his tanks are loaded with mojanos. Very large ones, so I am going to try to go there today and test the device on larger mojanos. I may need to bring a larger transformer to generate more power for these suckers
but it will be a good test.

A friend of mine owns a large LFS and his reefs are loaded with mojanos so I made the mistake of telling him that I built this mojano zapper. He had to try it so I brought it there today and he loves the thing. He destroyed about 75 mojanos in about 15 minutes. And in his tank they are huge. There is no chance of them returning because there is nothing left of them.
I had a hard time getting the thing back from him but he gave me a nice rock with yellow polyps on it so I told him I would build a larger one for his deeper tanks.
I built a different model and after it is completed I will try it again on his tanks.
This is in the store's tank, those spots you see to the left are the bubbles along with burnt up pieces of mojano

Was thinking about this today. Why wouldn't this work on Aiptasia? Have you tried it? I would assume it would knock out just about anything you zap!

I am fairly sure it would destroy any water based animal. I doubt it would do anything to crabs and snails which don't tend to fall apart as easily.
I can touch the probe to a hermit crab and he does not even seem to notice anything

Here are a couple of completed Zappers.
I made a bunch for a LFS near my home and he has been selling them.
They work much better than I thought they would work and they disintegrate mojanos in about 5 seconds, there is nothing left.
I love this stuff. 8)

Why don't you guys PM me and I will give you the details.

They are actually 12 volts and I am sure they would work on aiptasia. I know they even work on mushrooms.
I showed my daughter yesterday and her, her fieace and my wife were haveing a mojano fest for a while. Now they have a new hobby and love to fry these things.
I love the smell of burning mojano in the morning
