So I was visiting my mom in hawaii. And I was out at one of the beaches and there were several 1 pound pieces of coral looking very bleached and dry laying around on piles of broken up lava rock. I thought I could take that home and put it in my tank!

Then I thought, I better ask the crew first if anyone knows if thats a bad idea? And if it is where do you get quantities of base rock? Online is cool but seems like its pretty expensive?
