Ben, a good quick fix would be those clear plastic soap holders that have suction cups. You can keep frags in those temporarily until they're ready to mount or sell. Works good with acclimating frags to new light levels, too, since you can place it at different heights.

I tried to find those at walmart and homedepot once with no success. I then figured that people didn't care to make common household products that are only used by reefers anymore.

Do you have an Orchard Supply or Bed, Bath & Beyond near you?

 

[bleedingthought]

I do have bath, body, and beyond. Will have to check that out. Thanks, Unarce!

buttered, lemoned, and whacked

in walmart they have them over in the plumbing supply area.. not in housewares or domestics... I know.. it would be nice if they kept them in the same area.. but they just don't believe in making things easy...
so if you go over to the plumbing/hardware area and ask for shower caddies.. they should be able to show you were they are...

Maybe you could keep your crabs under a big wire strainer for a while, or put small wire strainers over some of the delicate things to exclude the crabs. I mean the cheap woven-wire (like wondow screen) strainers which come in quite a range of sizes and are easy to find in kitchen sections of superstores.

I do admire the butter and lemon approach, too.
