For 55gal SW tank my wife and I bought a pinkish-red artificial coral. Apparently it is painted. I found this out after placing it a bleach/water mixture. I saw the paint comming off. Now my question is how do I remove the paint completely. Right now I have it placed in strong bleach/water mixture.



The coral is the one I circled in red in the above picture.

I would say to keep doing what you're doing untill you can see no more of the paint coming off, and then rinse it thoroughly. Or just omit the coral altogether. I'm sure you can find a nice selection of rocks locally that would do more for the look of your aquairum than a piece of overpriced painted dead coral does.*PEACE!*
