Use for Dead Montipora?

[firebirdbandit]

I have a few pieces of dead montipora and caps that happened because of shipping in cold weather and the sender did not use enough heat packs. I'm wondering if there is a use for these bleached skeltons. Also has anyone seen Montipora's come back alive after they bleach themselves in the home aquarium? do you think I could have some of the healthy Montipora, that I have now when he resent them, grow over the old skeltons? Just curious as to the uses of these dead skeltons. I'd hate to just throw them away.

Use them to mount frags on or grow green star polyps or xenia on them and sells them.

Calcium reactor?

For mounting frags or in your sump.

Attach encrusting montipora, and they will live again ( well not really but they will at least have a cool shape

 

[Serioussnaps]

put GSP's on it and pretend its a digi with huge polyps

 

[firebirdbandit]

Thanks for the cool suggestions. I might try the encrusting montipora on one and GSP's on another. I'll post if they come out cool.

try putting something encrust on it, I put an encrusting monti on a dead acro and its looking great, it just needs another couple months.
