    I got some of these coming, other that I look for holes to put the plug in.

    Depending on what type of coral it is, I pop them off and use epoxy and superglue gel to place on the rocks.

    It depends on the coral and where I wish to place it. I have plugs super glued in place and plugs epoxied in place. I have done the same with disks. I have popped corals off the plugs and glued them down. I have removed plug bases and glued the frags down. Whatever seems the best to me is what I do.

    I do all the above....I find holes to stick the frag plugs, I mount them right to some rocks in the DT....I mostly now mount them to small pieces of rock and then position the rock where I want it.

    All of mine are broken off the plug then glued to the rock directly. I hate seeing a bunch of plugs on my reef. would rather see the coral growing out of the rock
