I think I saw bleached corals at AquaLife (not dying corals, but dead corals for sale as decoration). You might want to try there.

If your looking for dead coral that looks like rock, why not just buy live rock? That's what it is: dead coral. Or am I misunderstanding the request?

Exotic also usually has big dead colonies for sale.

Are you looking for the dead coral that they sell as decoration?

It's like the book Steve Martin wrote... "How I turned $600 in live SPS into $20 of live rock"

I am curious why this person has posted on nearly every California club's website looking for dead corals?

You all know there is huge business in this, don't you?

I recently had a client spend over $500 in a second set of decorations for his 240G because I refused to bleach and re-decorate in the same day.

Hold on to your dead stuff.

You can always crush it up and use it in your reactor.

Exactly what I was thinking when I was looking at Buttons' rock.

I like to try to use them for mounting frags, because some don't like the skeleton for some reason.....it is my theory that they will shoot up rather than encrust. Either way, a potential local Ca source.

I am trying it with my Sunrise Monti right now (Yes I know it won't shoot up, but want to see if it will encrust on them)

buttons buster, I hope you didn't kill all of those yourself.....

Sorry, I try my hardest to avoid that look, and would cry if I did see that in my tank. Call me simple, but I am stimulated by the bright colors.
