Sometimes the uncured ocean rocks come in with so much growth the die off is smell, gray water and about ten days long.
these growths above aren’t expected to cure they can indeed last if the feeding is proper in the new tank (filter feeders)
in between them is rows of pure coralline
yes it can be painted, but coralline is more likely it takes years of submersion to get the growths shown above and coralline follows given years of submersion.
I think the source link might even show curing in an indoor system somewhere, not the ocean, per benthic details above.
