I just take the cutters and chop it off at the base.

Ya I know. But like Lampshade said, not with the expensive ones

Well, ya, the expensive ones are the smallest. My red planet frag has sat in a magnet mount for a year, and it's just ready to cut off. Then I'll leave the plug and skin flap where it is and grow a new one, which I'll be able to sell in 2014 or so..

One of the frags I got from Dez a while back was mounted to the end of a golf tee. was crazy easy to stick into the rocks and invisible too. I wish all vendors did this! But yeah as soon as I get home I snap them off the plugs and if it's too hard to I chop the stem part of the plug off so it's easier to jam into my rocks.

Funny thing is one of the only sps I've lost was on a plug and now I have a plug without even a frag on it in there. Been forgetting to remove it.

The frag I bought took 14 months to grow from a 1/4" to something with a couple of stubby branches. 2014 isn't kidding

My Wayner's Red Planet (WRP Ltd Ed) has to be one of the fastest growing corals I've owned. Have you talked sweetly to it?

Define sweetly Probably not...

Seriously, it's now about 1.5", which took more than a year...
