Can I use this for substrate for Diamondback Terrapins they chew on coral
- I honestly don’t know. My African Cichlids like to grab some and spit it out in different areas of the tank. They tend to move the coral where they want to.

Is coraline good for cichlids from lake Malawi ?
- Mbuna will be fine. I've used crushed coral with African cichlids and never noticed any damaged mouths. Some marine fish like to dig also.
