I don't particularly care for chaeto loose in the display - The little strands go all floaty

Get a shower / soap dish from walmart - It's made of plastic and has suction cups on it. There are a couple different shapes. Lots of holes for flow and access for fish to get something to eat if so inclined.

I have one for holding frags - I'll show it to you when / if you come by.

I might also have something else for you to keep it in. I'll have to check.

I don't think it will last very long... hermit crabs and Tangs will peck at it faster than it can grow.

Your best bet is to come up with a way to grow it safely.

If you don't have a sump (try to build one, if possible), you could place a hang on Fuge and grow it in there, or you a hang on filter place a light over it...

obvisouly the sump/fuge is the ideal place.
