No. Fossilization is a process by which organic matter is replaced over time by minerals. The minerals keep the shape of the organism it replaced, but it is all dead rock. There is no tissue (living or dead) in a fossil. It might be a pretty decoration for your tank, but it will never spawn new algae IP: Logged |
