[Nhcoll-l] Fan Coral Specimen Preservation

[Megan Mosier]

Hi there!

I am working on my university's specimen collection and I am having trouble
finding information on how to preserve fan coral. Right now, the specimen
is in formalin. Many sites are saying to soak it in bleach, but I'm afraid
of destroying the color. Should it be soaked out in water and then kept
dry? Or if it should be kept in preservative, what kind?

Thanks!
