    I bought some sponge coral in Quartzite. I'm pretty sure this
    material has been dyed and stabilized in some way but the sellers
    couldn't tell me anything about what sponge coral really is and how
    it's removal from the ocean affects the environment.  I've searched
    the archives and googled around but can't find an answer.  Have any
    of you used it and what do you know about it?
