    Was wondering how everyone removes their coral frags from the plug to put it into the tank or do you just attach the plug somewhere in the tank and let the coral overgrow it?

    Thanks,
    Evan.

    yes, the coral will grow over the plug. Like that cooking show says, " set it and forget it".

    Always leave them on the plug as that will keep them spending more time in growth and not trying to setting a base down.. I just wedge the plugs in between some rocks or epoxy it to the rocks.
