Hey Jus, we're friends and I want to help you out. So take your time writing what your asking dude cause I couldn't understand a d a m n thing you wrote bro.

lol what i ment was whats a easer way to take the plug off the frag plate to that it lays flay to the surface to the rock, rarther than having that plug stick out and not being abile to stand it up.

I usually just find a hole or something and glue it on with 2 part eproxy(sp?).

If you have to, you can just break off the part that's sticking out. Don't do it with your hand tho, your fingers might slip and damage the coral. I use a plier to crush it off.

Thats the right thing to do. Just get some wire cutters, something like this:

cut it as close to the part where its flat and then u can glue it. Make sure u wash it real good so it dont rust either.

LOL.....Funny, I understood this statement just fine.
Anyway I have had the same problem, so what I do is just
cut the frag off of the plug or cut off the little stick on the plug.

I tried to cut one of those plugs with one of these pliers and the plug broke in six pieces two of them belonging to the frag, with like 10 more to cut I had to buy Dremmel with a diamond cutting blade.

Agreed, the dremel would be the better choice in cutting tools.
The wire cutters do work but The can break or crack the base (place were the frag sits)....

WHILE TRYING TO CUT THE PLUG OFF THE FRAG , THE HAMMER BROKE OFF AND I WAS FREAKING OUT..LOL BUT IT CAME OUT TO BE BETTER BECOUSE I GLUED IT TO MY LIVE ROCK AND ITS LOOKS NICE.

I prefer to take them off the plug and mount them to other rocks...
