Should It Be Kept In Water, or Removed?

I admit I'm not well informed about opals, I have skimmed over other info sites but I have not found an exact answer about this.
Recently I acquired this Ethiopian opal, it was originally sold stored in water however the display case began leaking and I was considering if I should just take it out and display it dry.
I own a few other opal pieces, however they are not raw like this one. Would it be safe to remove from the water and keep dry, or is it best kept submerged? I don't want to make any decision without being educated and risk damaging the stone.
