[Nhcoll-l] cleaning acropora and spongia

[Vicen Carrio]

Hi,

Did you try the steam clean process?
I have presented a poster to the 2022 SPPC (Symposium of Palaeontological Preparation and Conservation) conference regarding the cleaning of a brain coral.
Hope it can be useful.

Yours,

Vicen

Subject: [Nhcoll-l] cleaning acropora and spongia

Hello All,
I have to clean a large (50x70 cm / 20x28 in), rather dusty Acropora and a couple of Spongia officinalis.
Any advice? Or any paper on the topic?

Thanks,
Roberta
