The question is simple. In the old days of running a fish only system with coral skeletons, I've accumulated an assortment of fairly large real coral skeletons. 6" to some up to 10-12" the size of a basketball, like Cats Paw ect.
Does any one buy them?
I know some I have paid $50 for when I got them from a LFS.
Shattering them and using as rubble or fragging seems a shame!

Mount them with hot glue to some nice driftwood and give them as gifts.

Use them as a substrate to grow other corals on?

Grow some kind of encrusting coral on them like a montipora or GSP. I think that would look pretty darn cool.

Crush them and use in the calcium reacter.
