yeah true, but in most cases when people want to get rid of zoa's and paly's they just remove the rock and replace it or scrub it outside of the tank, not much work is actually done to remove the coral inside of the tank that is why i brought it up. i know if you take your finger and flatten a colony of zoas in the water they release the toxins and you have to run fresh carbon everyday and do good water changes to not cause death but not to sure what happens to the toxins when they get heated that hot? and if it did burn away the toxins is there a bi-product from it and could that potentially be hazardous?
Hence my use of the phrase "in-tank eradication" in reply to your earlier comments Justin. In many cases, it's not feasible to simply remove and scrub the rock - if it were, use of a Laser certainly would not come into play.
Obviously there are many unknowns as Lasers have not been used in marine aquaria in this manner. This is how we learn and advance the hobby/science - through experimentation.
Perhaps you should start another thread if you want to advance your theories regarding heat created "enhanced palytoxins"
Thanks for helping me keep this one on topic
