Subject: Re: Cleaning, bleach gel pens?


I've had new attachments fall off, for sure. I remember snorkeling in Tarpum
Bay (ah, the warm, clear water) and picking an X.c. off the bottom, and the
newest attachment fell off as I picked it up. I had interrupted the snail in
the middle of the process. But when they are just barely attached, they do
tend to fall off unless they are handled very gingerly, bleach or no bleach.

I think those bleach pens would come in most handy when cleaning Spondylus
and such. They get so encrusted, yet you want to leave the hinge intact!
