Beach coral

[Landers]

My family and I picked up these corals on a beach several weeks ago and they’ve been sitting outside in the sun. Does anyone recognize these corals and are they ok to add to my 30 gallon? If they aren’t tank safe right now, is there any way for me to make them tank safe?

Well i mean they are probably dead. And sort if look like gorgonians

I realize they’re dead I just wanted to put them in my tank for looks. I know that when some coral are dead they deteriorate in the tank or leach harmful substances and I didn’t want that to be the case...

I’d say soak in saltwater with a heater and small pump for a week or two. The you should be fine

Gorgs make their skeletons out of silica crystals, see no reason why they would fall apart. Id add carbon to the soaking, just in case there are any toxins left over.
