Defintily a cool device, i love mine, I made my own it's not too hard.

12V powersupply, a switch inline, and used 2 fish-hooks as my probes(they have held out the best so far, i used a syringe needle that melted in a few uses). I wired them through a case from a Bic Pen and sealed it with silicone so that one probe is out about 2", the other about 1/2". Turn on the switch, it melts anything. I made it for aptasia, works well, but defitnily beter at mojono's since if you kill the mouth they're toast, aptasia can grow back from nearly nothing left.

Overall, cost about $10 and took maybe an hour to wire. I hear if you use graphite on the negative lead it holds out better, but my fish-hooks have done the trick, i cut them off so they where some what straight, and they come with a nice eyelet for wiring :P.
