Hi,
If this is off topic too far I'm sorry. I recently received a large piece of coral that was described by the dealer as not bleached or stabilized.
Can anyone tell me the proper procedures,like how to stabilize or even what that means plus what sort of concentration of bleach I should use. It is a shade of grey white at present. I bought it because the only other piece I had that appeared to be related was tinted a delightful shade of pepto-bismol pink. Has anyone had any experience in trying to get rid of the tinting? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Gary
