Carborane acid can be stored in glass.

oh ok thanks, what about other superacids like hexafluoroantimonic?

Carborane acid isnt corrosive, thats what wikipedia says it's just very strong as an acid which means it dissociates in very large fraction. Hexafluoroantimonic acid is stored in PTFE containers (you can find this informations by simply visiting the wikipedia)
