    Go to the LFS you visit often and ask for styrofoam shipping containers, double-line them with Hefty heavy duty trash bags. Get some styrofoam from a shipping company (Fed Ex, UPS, The Shpping Company, etc). Smaller corals can be rubberbanded to styrofoam and floated. Bigger corals need to have styrofoam placed in between them so they don't fight with each other. Give the montis their own containers so they don't break.

    For the fish, you'll need to buy a battery powered air pump. Rubberband a small rock to the airline tubing so it's bubbling all the way from the bottom to the top. If you need more than one bucket or shipping container, you can buy a 50 cent T-Fitting to split the air flow into more than one container.
