Jack, not a dumb question at all, but no, you can't use them (effectively) in the reactor. They are composed mostly of calcite, which has a lower solubility than aragonite. You end up with the skeletons on the bottom of the reactor when all the aragonite is gone.

makes sense. i figured it wouldnt be possible because the corals would change the form of calcium but curiousity got the best of me
