Corals and shells in your tank will raise your both the carbonate hardness and pH. So if you have acidic tank loving fishes, its not great for them. Also playing with you kh and ph tends to make your water less stable (sounds odd as more kh makes it harder for ph swings, but it really does seem to make it less stable in the long run), and should only be done if you have too etc.

yes, i'd definitely not recommend putting those in a freshwater tank so the answer would be no.
