Where to buy plastic frag cup/protectors?

[vertwake]

Anyone know where I can order fragging supplies like the plastic cup protectors in the picture?

Attached is a really cruddy picture of what I'm talking about.

grocery store. I believe most of them are just the little single use drinking cups.

Amazon.com: Solo 3-Ounce Plastic Bathroom Cups, 80-Count Packages (Pack of 12): Health & Personal Care

they make them smaller than 3oz as well, I just through that one up for an example.

They are not actually a reefing product (as of yet..) they are 1oz souflet (sp?)cups available from Gordon Foods or any restaurant supply.
My self and Cherry Corals have shipped w/ them for several years. They do a great job protecting the corals...especially delicate SPS.

Correct me if I am mistaken, but I think the OP is talking about really small cups, that you punch a small hole through, for the plug peg to stick through, thereby making a sort of protective collar around the plug.

Look like little 1 oz plastic cups to me, sounds like a great idea, birdsnest always breaks in shipping.

I recently received frags like this from Joe Knows Reefs. What an awesome idea! My biggest concern when shipping frags was always the amount of stress caused by the frag hitting the bag during shipping.

JKR revd some coral from me than adopted the practice himself.
the cut in the bottom of the cup keeps the frag plug stable and secure, the cup around the coral protects coral from damage while bouncing around in the bag (myself I use a poly bag slightly larger than cup so it will not move within the bag)

Yes, this is exactly what I'm looking for. Just received a frag order from JoeKnowsReefs and they were the best packaged order I've received so far.
