Adding Beach Shells

[andysgirl8800]

Do I need to do anything special before adding beach-collected shells to my aquarium?

I added a bunch of them. I let them turn bone dry and then cure them just like your would with LR. Because they are made of a lot of calcium, coralline will cover them fairly quickly.
