Have you ever used one?
No but I wanted one and the more you look into this, the more you’ll see people regret buying them, and not recommending them. Including the guy who first came up with the idea and brought it to the forum to tell others about it.
 
I regret buying one. Maybe if I had soent the big bucks on an even bigger laser, but even then, mine was rated to burn quite well.

I cooked several Aips down to little nubs, but even that didn't seem to kill them. Too a few minutes of constant lasering for each one, so realistically one Aiptasia at a time to give the laser a chance to cool down. And then got a massive explosuon of new Aips, so I assume I just ticked them off enough to release their planula everywhere.

Yup. I did the OG of the laser, the majano wand. That crap made the aips worse. It spreads the spores, majorly.
 
Dont use it...makes it worse
