Attaching a yuma to frag plug

[MikeandNicole]

I have this gorgeous pink yuma that came off of its frag plug. I tried putting it in a container to get it attach but to no avail. Any other methods out there?

A lot of mushroom corals really dislikes frag plugs/discs, you better off with live rock rubble.

I would try a rubberband. One that's not too tight though, and don't cover the mouth.

I just fragged a pink yuma last month, and I tossed them in a breeder container with the bottom covered with CaRx large media. They attached to a few pieces within a few days, and then I glued that to live rock.

I pretty much do what fishez does. I put them in a plastic cup with some rock rubble. They usually attach in a few days, then i glue them onto plugs

I take one of those 8oz plastic deli containers and poke 20-30 holes in the sides with a hole punch. Then I place some Atlantic crushed coral in the bottom (~1/4" deep). Then I place some plastic netting (saved from bulk orange bags from the grocery store) on top of the ric to keep it upright. Finally, place some rubble surrounding the ric to keep the netting in place in the tank with full flow. The ric usually heals and attaches in about 1-3 weeks depending on how badly mutiliated the foot was in the fragging event.

I did not frag the yuma it just decided that after a year it did not like that frag plug anymore. I understand that housing prices are low, but it never put up a for sale sign on the old one, so it caught me by suprise. Thank you all for the advice, I have some small containers and will punch some holes and see what I can do.
