I have received two PM's now from people that want these new frag plugs from Europe, anyone else interested in these awesome plugs?

No. There's nobody here who wants those. Move along, move along. Nothing to see here. Nope.

(Not working huh? Guess I just outted myself as one the PMers. )

YES ! For goodness sakes don't even ask, just do it!!!

And ya, what's the price?

I just see them as being better for adhesion of the coral, and blending in better than the typical cement based plugs, and with larger surface area for faster coraline coverage or base encrusting of the frags..

+1 Making as many frags as we do, we also see some great benefits of these plugs.

Blending +1

But as for surface area, Ian can you tell if its been dipped in some sort of sealing agent? I like my regular plugs because during the forming process they sprinkle sand onto the wet plugs adhering it and letting the coral grow right onto that. Do the new plugs have a layer of something between the aragonite and what the coral is suppose to grow on?

Then again I don't think much testing has been done on growth rates of encrusting corals on different substrates so I probably shouldn't talk . Sounds like it's time for a SCIENCE EXPERIMENT , 3 different species of zoas each one with 3 different frag plugs (Plastic, Boston and one of these.)

So yes I'm very interested in some of them, are they much more expensive than regular plugs?

Looks like epoxy coated coral bits to me I don't think I would pay more for that would prefer a more natural rock looking one and larger. My two cents.
