Dried out rock or coral?

[Tony757]

I've done a little research and I wanna say it's deffanantly brain coral. If it is can i bring it back to life?? It is hard coral right? And the pic with the other hard coral will that come to life once my cycles are going??

No, thats dead. Think of it like a human skeleton. It will not come back to life. However, a coral that is still partially alive with at least some flesh has a chance to recover.
