Re: coral
It's illegal to harvest live Florida coral.
What do you mean by coral? You say it isn't live rock, your post is not clear. If it's any old rock you can probably boil it to clean it.

Re: coral
Its probably limestone... I'd say no to putting it in a freshwater tank. Not sure about a saltwater tank.

Re: coral
I've never worked with saltwater tanks. By the way you described the rock looking like dried up coral it's most likely limestone. Limestone breaks down in water and will raise your water hardness aka mess with your pH. Whether that is fine for a saltwater tank or not... I have no clue.
