How do you clean coral?
I have several pieces of coral that have dust in places that are hard to get to....I know about toothbrushes already, but I need to know what cleaning product works best. Plain water, salt water, soap? What works best?

spray them with solution of bleach and water, then rinse well. hope this works. it worked on abalone shells. it should work also on corals.
We have a 180 gallon salt water tank, so we end up with pieces of coral that dye and I like to keep some of them on a shelf. If they are really hard coral then you can soak them in a little bleach water for about 30 mins. Some times a small paint brush will work to get into small places if you can not soak them. If you soak in some bleach water make sure the bleach is not to stron and the water is hot. I do not recommend soaking longer than 30 mins due to the coral may start to break down.
If you haven't turn it to mud already, compressed air. You can buy it in little cans at cleaning area of stores
