Many organisms are mostly soft tissue, with hard bits embedded within them. This includes many invertebrates, and vertebrates with calcified areas in their tissues. This procedure works well for soft-bodied corals which have hard pieces of calcium carbonate (sclerites) embedded in their tissues. It should also work for similar soft-tissue/calcified bits in other animals.
