need a suggestion

[TriMax]

I need something like net material. The net needs to have about 1/8 inch squares, It needs to be plastic - something I can put in a saltwater tank. Clear plastic - so light can get through.

*Use: I want to wrap a ricordea or a St. Thomas on a piece of 2x2 tile until the coral attaches.

Any ideas?

Bridal veil?

plastic bridal veil. Not sure I have ever seem one.

It's polyester I think. I've seen several articles suggesting bridal veil for mushrooms and such. Things that don't "glue well". I've never used it myself, so I can't attest to its effectiveness.

Rather old article, but that's where I learned about using bridal veil.

I got the shippment in yesterday and all looks good. I tried the thing with the wedding veil netting. I looks like it might work. the St. Thomas were a little bit "held down" more than I would have liked. The ricordea did not seem to mind at all, yea, I could tell. The flower anemone attached so quick I did not even try. Do not think I would work the way I was doing it with the anemones anyway.

Reports to follow after a day or two. I am wondering how long it will take the rics and St. Thomas to attach.

I think corals are sooooo cool!!
