Hello Orchidland,

    Quick question. Most of the inexpensive coral sold these days is
    dyed. It's fun and funky stuff, but dangit, the color bleeds when
    the coral gets wet. 

    Does anyone know how to set the color? Is this a lost cause??? 

    Thanks in advance for your responses, and special thanks to Hanuman
    and Ton for their tireless work moderating this forum, 

Judy in Kansas
