Ugly frag plug syndrome

[csb]

Looking for some tips from those of you out here that have dealt with ugly frag plugs ...

When I buy new frags, I try to get stuff that's on a natural rock, or in some cases with LPS corals, I've got some that aren't attached to plugs at all.

BUT, now I've got these 2 frags on ugly 'crete frag plugs ... one is a round disk and the other is a rectangle. I hate the look of these things in the tank!!

What have you done in the past to hide the ugly frag plugs??? Re-glue the frags to other substrates? Wait for the colony/coral to overgrow & hide the plug naturally?? Any other tips & tricks for hiding ugly frag plugs??

it doesnt take to long before the coralline covers the plugs in my tank. i dont even worry about it.

The only other option is to break off the frag and glue it to the rock. Then if there is anything left on the plug grow it out and sell it to someone else.
