We get some pretty crazy emails as vendors as im sure a few here can share but this came today just curious if this guy is just being funny or got had or maybe its real, you tell me lol.And im gessing he lft no out at end of sentence.

Hello,

I was in the South Pacific last summer between Sulu sea and Malaysia. A
local showed me this piece of coral that combust when taken out of the
water. He removed the piece of coral from a bottle and expose to the sun.
After a few minutes the coral starts smoking and liquifying. Do you know
this type of coral?
I talk to the Smithsonoin staff about this coral and they have knowledge on
this type of coral. Please let me know if you have any information.

Sincerely,
