thoes look really good, when i have my big FOWLR i was thinking about doing the whole fake coral thing. I wonder if you didn't put coralline in the tank to begin with it would keep the fake corals cleaner. Like if you started up a tank with just baserock and fake corals and livesand in the bag, you could avoid coralline in the tank, but the rock and everything could still hold the bacteria, hmmmm wonder if that would even work lol

Bleach wont hurt them a bit and it just takes a quick rinse and a thoroughdry will oxidize any chlorine.

no toothbrush should be required after a two hour dip.

livesand would have coralline algae in it, as it has been exposed to it at one point or another. Also, you would get it from snails, hermits, and possibly even fish, just one cell is enought
