I love Corals and this one is near perfect. I recently found it in a gully and it is unworn and damage free.

There are beautiful specimens on here!!! Here is a coral I found recently. Pittsburgh, PA and some areas are filled with quartz. Any ID suggestions appreciated. :)

Hi,

 

Pachy, if you put them in a tub with ultrasounds, I think they will be better cleaned ;)
