Is there a particular kind of alcohol that is less damaging to the baby? (I know it is going to die, just want to preserve the body the best). Rubbing alcohol?
Ideally you want ethanol in the highest percentage you can get (a reason to hit up the liquor store ). Rubbing alcohol should work just for short term to preserve enough detail to tell if they are veligers or crawling larvae. You could also use formalin instead if you have it.
