[Nhcoll-l] preserving leafy sea dragon

[Catherine Early (she/her)]

Hi all,

I'm passing along a request from advice from a zoo partner: they had a
leafy sea dragon pass away and want to fluid-preserve it. They have
formalin on hand and can put it into there immediately after necropsy, but
is there a better approach? My experience is with fluid-preserving
terrestrial animals and I don't have my copy of John Simmons' book at hand
today, so I'm feeling out of my depth to help them. Thanks!

Best,
Catherine
