Reef Safe Paint

[heath]

I have some small skeletons that I want to paint and add to the tank for colour until my baby frags grow out...does anyone know of a reef safe paint...

Algae will turn em green over time I'm thinking that or plastic coral

I have decorations in the big tank and they are fine, they have been there for about a year now... I don't want to put plastic in the tank because most of the stuff comes from China and I know that their regulations are not as strict as ours... I am nervous of the leaching...

Krylon fusion
Sold at Canadian tire. Cure it for a week and it's completely reef safe

wonderful, thanks...

I wouldn't take a chance on putting anything painted in my tank. Not worth the risk. Maybe some nice live rock already coraline-covered?

The krylon is safe but it will gradually flake off the natural coral as it dissolves and becomes more porous. The flakes of plastic paint could become a hazard to creatures that ingest them...I wouldn't do it...go plastic or go natural...not half and half.
