Koohii stories:

1) [mantixen] 28-7-2009(22): The king had a coral reef installed in his lake.

2) [astridtops] 29-3-2007(6): Under the light of the moon, the adventurers secretly dived for the old wreckage in the coral reef that would contain a fabled jewel.

3) [Yesterbean] 11-1-2010(4): Be careful not to get mixed up with reef (#558 礁).

4) [cameron_en] 21-11-2008(3): After reading about the jewels which are hidden amongst the coral, only the most uncivilised people would actually attempt to explore the coral reef to find jewels.

5) [dihutenosa] 4-8-2008(2): [+mcfate] Coral is one thing (it's really just a color), but coral reef as a "jewel" is something totally weird. Actually, the uncivilized (remember, these uncivilized people were the type to eat the flesh of their old) people in China used to use this as money. They would wear bits of coral reef as a jewel in hopes that they would never get old, and thus have their flesh eaten. Interestingly enough, this wasn't REALLY coral reef- it was just junk from a nearby lake (#148 湖).
