coral newbie question

[DarthReefer27]

I am new to the hobby but even newer to corals. i just got my first 4 corals and i had a question. one that i purchased was a zoanthid on a sizeable piece of live rock which is doing great. two of the others (GPS yellow polyps frags) were on frag plugs but it looks like the plugs are on a small round piece of live rock. i currently have the plugs in holes in the rock but i know that is not the way it should be done. do i take the plug off the piece of rock and then glue the piece of rock onto my existing live rock? if so, just normal coral glue? or am i going about this all wrong?

You can leave them on the plugs. They will be grown over soon. Yellow polyps, zoas and gsp all grow very fast.

And regular super glue works just fine

here is how my frag is on my rock. the plug is partially in a hole in the rock but it is not fully in the rock. I should leave it like this?

As lomg as you and it are happy with the placement and look, and it is secure enough a snail or urchin won't bulldoze it, it is fine.

You can leave them on the plug without problem, they can overgrow it and hide it anyways. If I can I cut the bottom piece about half way and glue the plug into the holes in the rock, that way I dont have to cut it off the plug
