Conserving the Turbinaria coral | Natural History Museum

Follow the gigantic but fragile Turbinaria coral specimen on its journey from storage, via the loving care of our conservation team, into the Coral Reefs: Secret Cities of the Sea exhibition (27 March - 13 September 2015).

Although this exhibition has now closed, you can still explore some of our coral reefs content here: http://bit.ly/NHM-CoralReefs-Exhibition
