yeah, he got it from me.
Its actually slices and cores of a large dead coral boulder. I'm guessing a gonipora by the looks of the cell structure on it. A local biomedical firm imported it as a calcium source and grows tissue on artificial eyes (balls of the material) and uses other material for bone transplant paste of sorts.
Its extremely porous and light, thus the thicker slices to weigh it down some.
It 'works' very easily with a chisel, screwdriver, saw, chisel, etc
the tile like pieces you can score and snap easily.
it should epoxy in place simialr to small rock chunks like your other frags.
Zoas will grow and spread across the material and eventually spread to adjoining rock.

here is an expermint of mine.

balls of the material, drilled and strung on heavy test monofilament line, and then hung off the side of my tank into a patch of xenia growing on the side glass of my 35 cube.
the xenia is already attaching and 'creeping' along the string.
should make a nice pearl necklace of xenia in due time!
