All,

I'm in possession of a brittle star that is desiccated sufficiently
(no rotting smell!) that I would like to display it in our
classification discovery drawers. It will not be handled and will be
secured under a plexiglass lid. This brittle star is very, very
brittle indeed and although it's not a museum quality specimen it is
the best I've had so far. Can anyone recommend a non-toxic method for
preserving this specimen?

TIA!
