    Hey y'all,
    Yes, I know that it can become a weed, but I love the motion and I'm mounting it high up. What are some ways that I can successfully detatch the coral from the unsightly square plug?

    Once I do, I plan on gluing the individual coral bases to the rock. Are there better ways to do so? netting, toothpick jamming?

    Thanks!

    No need to. Stuff will spread so quick. When it moves to the surrounding rock just pull the frag plug.

    Trust me, you ll regret the decision! I loved mine too...... now i can't get rid of the stuff. If i don't cut it out every week it spreads so much it will choke out everything else i have. Civic cars is right though, it will spread and you can remove the plug. Putting it high in the tank probably won't change the way it spreads BTW

    I was not trying to be negative (although i suppose it ended up that way). It is nice to look at but does require way more "Grooming" work than what i anticipated.
