I'm not sure - The challenge is as you defocus the endpoint, the power falls off dramatically. With the cooling impact of the water, It's tough to know just how miuch energy is being imparted to the Valonia.
I tried a couple of different methods, lasering the entire exterior of the bubble (you can see the pigmentation being "erased" as you lase the surface. And carving a large hole in the bubble.
Time will tell if either are effective means of control.
