Frag install unto rock.

Wondering how many of you guys take the coral off the frag plug when permanently placing. Some of my frags are on the quarter size plates. Doesn't
Blend Into the rock work. Any tips?

I always take them off. Just take a razor or very fine tip small flat head screwdriver and pop it off before gluing it down. I usually glue them to a small rock then secure that rock in the tank.

Yep, I leave them on plugs for a couple of days/weeks to see where the coral likes it best in the tank, and once adjusted, just pop them off the plug and glue in desired place. I use the BSI glue, and as long as you use a good amount, it won't harden before you get the coral where you want it.

Depends if it's already encrusted onto the plug. Zoas, chalices and acans I leave them on the plug

I don't leave anything on the plug....just doesn't look right on a plug

yea i rather it be on a rock myself but i wouldnt try to take it off depends what kind of frag it is acans i definitely wouldnt touch those.

zoas always on the plug. cant tell once it spreads and you can remove the plug once they spread and start a new colony. most other corals i take off except some chalices

Thanks guys. Just curious how many of you use strictly glue vs. combination of glue > putty > glue > Frag

For frags I leave on the plug I do glue/putty/glue/frag.

I just use cheap super glue (gel) from the dollar store. It's easier for me to move the frag later on if I need to for any reason.
