Default coraline

that coraline looks like a nice natural feel. I scrape my black acrylic constantly because I dig the contrast the black adds to the corals. This is definitely a good example of the opposite

yes !
I did try a couple of times to remove the coraline but it is almost impossible to remove it from the round plastic corner overflow anyway so instead I've learned to like the look of it like this !
