    You could remove the frag from the plug if you have something like a craft knife and dig underneath the polyps and then attach them to a piece of live rock or another plug if you have one.

    This will sound a bit gross but when I buy the plugs I put them in a net bag, I then put them in the cistern of the toilet for 2 weeks. The constant flushing of the toilet washes away anything bad that might be in them. After this I then put them in Fresh ro water for about a week, replacing the water everyday. I then put them on my frag rack until needed.

    There may well be better methods but this works good enough for me :)

    Just my input anyway bud ;)

    Yeah I guess I'll try that. Plugs tend to create headaches for me when it comes to coral placement. And I would definitely say that that is creative way to cure them haha as long as it works

    Just make sure you dont damage the tissue of the polyps pal if you do have a go.

    As always when messing with polyps wear safety glasses and wash your hands after you have finished
