I have about 3 on hand I bought at my lfs. They work super well. Not sure what they're made of, but they have metal clasps at the top. They have tiny holes in them you can see thru and water can pass thru. They're also pliable. I've had one break, but have had the same one for 5 years. Really helpful if I have to medicate to protect weaker fish, also used it when I've had babies.
