    I don't think he's talking about his rock, I think he's talking about his dead coral skeletons.

    I'm pretty sure Bunner is also talking about the dead coral skeletons. I don't see any reason to take them out either.

    Yep leave them in. Maybe seed the tank with some small peices of rock with coralline algae on them.
