Currently I have about 4 frags in my nano tank and they're sitting on their own plugs. I would like to eventually add them to the rock work once the ugly stage of my aquarium clears. My questions is if it makes more sense to glue the frags to the rock work or whether i should be trying to develope a removable solution? I've been watching some youtubers who have to apparently re-dip corals due to parasites, and that seems like that would be quite difficult if the corals were glued to the rocks. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Adding Corals to Aquascape

We need to know what types of corals you have.
I have a plug of GSP (going on the back wall soon), 1 head bi-colored frogspawn , 1 plug of some zoa, and a 3" plug of clove polyp.
Clove polyps will spread everywhere regardless of where you put them. They are very efficient at propagating themselves. If you don't mind the thought of having a tank full of clove polyps just put them anywhere.
So I've heard two opinions on cloves. Some folks say they are low to grow, while other say the complete opposite.
I guess the basis of my questioning comes from the fact that the aquascape that I made has been completely epoxied together. It is literally one piece. So moving forward, concerning adding the corals to the aquascape, I'm trying to use an attachment technique that doesn't make my maintenance more difficult. For example, due to the way GSP grows it's usually advised not to add them to the rock work, but to instead put on an island or on the back of the aquarium. This is why I've decided to add my GSP to the back glass.
Griss,
The frogspawn is my favorite and most expensive. If you're suggesting not to attach it, how would you suggest incorporating it into the aquascape? Currently, it is on a plug in a single, plastic frag-plug holder in the sand. My vision is to eventually have everything blend togeth. Obviously, things need to be compatible or at least spaced apart if they're not.
I haven’t had LPS corals in a long time. But, when I did, I just placed the skeleton/branch into a hole/crevice is the rock work.
