how to clean a dead coral?
I had my large birdsnest coral die due to an unfortunate breaker trip, and now that its dead I want to clean it an put it on a shelf ( even dead its still beautiful ) Does anyone know how the stores get the decorative corals so white ?

Bleach, I'm guessing.
And really sorry to hear that your coral died  But I'm wondering...is there no chance you could see some growth in weeks or months/etc.? I know some people believe their coral is completely dead, only to be surprised by growth months later.

 Just kidding! Don't do it, you may dissolve the whole thing if you forget about it.

As stated; I've used a couple of ounces of bleach in an icecream pail. Just let it sit on the porch for a couple of days (don't let the dog drink it - cats... well that's up to you) and rinse the dead tissue off.
Here's a portion of my "death row"

Bleach solution it is than! And Drew... oh yah its dead.
 If it was not it is now, It started to RTN and I noticed it some of the tips were still live when I pulled it out of the tank, I fragged them they were toast in 20 mins. It sucks, it was not the brightest colour coral, but I liked it! May it rest in peace!
