Dead Corals

[cherietung]

Hi All,

I believe that many reefers had experienced at least 1 dead coral during your reefing period.

Can I get some feedback as what you do with the dead coral thereafter?

I have collected a lot of dead corals over the years and wish to know if there is any other use for them or just simply down the rubbish chute.

Anyone?

I saw some of them uses their skeleton as decoration, but I'm not sure what it is used exactly for.

I remember reading somewhere you could actually crush them into small pieces and use it as calcium reactor media or shell bed... but probably too much effort

[jacobus]

dun intend to .. its just to add interesting shapes and contours to the rockscape..

[jacobus]

just adding in .. SPS skeletons are said to be pod farms( one reefer told me this) so might be another use for the skeletons... how true is this ? anyone knows ?

[reeftask]

just leave it in the tank like a LR

Unfortunately, when you have too many of it, leaving it in your tank will not suffice the need for more space.

If anybody wants them (plenty of it), do pm me for collection. Thereafter, I will proceed with the 'chute procedure' if no response.

FOC with great thanks for recycling the calcium by-products.
