Hi, does anyone know the name of the attached stone taken from a ocean cave? I'm not sure if this is a plant of some sort or an actual stone shaped by ocean water over time. Please go here to see photos http://www.reef.org/node/10116
Thank you.

Hi Dukme, welcome,
Whatever it is, it's a beauty!
My first thought would be to acid test it for calcite/aragonite.

Thanks Bill S for the help. I've been searching on the internet and all indicators point to calcite/aragonite, as you stated.
