cutting zoa from frag plug

so i am wanting to remove my zoa polyps from my ugly frag plugs. Does the mat pull off pretty easily, and are they very fragile. I just dont like the look of these damn plugs. One of my zoa colonies is growing onto the backside of the rim of the plug. Will it be hard to super glue them to the rock in the tank?

 

If they are attached with epoxy then you can pull the epoxy off of the plug and glue them down like that. The epoxy is usually pretty easy to pull off.

 

If you need to cut them, use a sharp knife or blade and kind of scrape the rock. It's not that hard to super glue them, put a big dollop, and place the polyp on top. Don't let the polyp sit on the glue too long or the glue will harm the polyp. Put the new frag under water and you should be fine. Some zoas are easier then other, just keep that in mind too.

 

yeah or you can just get pliers and break up the frag plug, frag plugs are just sand and glue so they crumble under just a little pressure... just get some pliers and crush the plug down until theres just enough under the zoas so you have a surface to superglue them on...

have fun!
