Frag Tiles / Plugs

jaubuchon · 04-26-2008, 05:27 PM

Just curious about how folks hide the plugs / tiles that frags sometimes come on? I really like a natural look, so having a perfectly square block sitting in my LR kinda bothers me :-)

How safe is it to remove a frag and transplant it to another rock?

Thanks!

Just break it or cut it, then use the superglue gel / aquamend / gel method to attach where you want it. I usually wait a week or so that the frag is less stressed.

Sorry if this is a dumb question... but you mean cut / break the tile? thanks again!

Sometimes you can break the tile and sometimes you can cut/remove the frag off the reef tile or reef plug and glue them onto your live rock.
