Coral is almost entirely calcium carbonate. Probably not a good substrate.

Decided to try mounting a flask of Phalaenopsis pulcherrima on lava rock and on coral. They are both sitting in a tray of water.

I hope you will post pictures periodically so we can watch everything grow. Good luck with both set ups!
