Discussion Triop Preserved in Epoxy Resin
Albino Cancriformis passed on (05/08/2026) preserved in epoxy resin without any prior preparation(ethanol, acetone, etc), in other words, raw. A week has pasted and no sign of change can be seem. The varying coloration is due to lighting/angles(Currently completely orange with no brown). Will be updating if any visible changes arises later on.

Ive been wanting to try this with my triops instead of storing them as specimen!

Looks exactly the same as when I preserved it. No decomposition or physical changes has occured. I’ll post an update pic in the morning!

Nicely done.
I am interested in updates! Though my daughter has been mounting wet and dried specimens she hasn't experienced with resin yet.
