I use plastic golf tees for small frags. They don't float, are inert and can be easily pushed into small holes in the rock. I like this better than having to epoxy everything onto my rock work. Very cheap as well.

May work for a couple of them but most are encrusted a few inches, so will need something like tiles.

its natural rough cut slate, I used it in my fresh water tanks for years..

I also have some travatine which is old coral reefs, but I think it is filled so I am not sure what they fill it with. so I don't know if that is good to use.

Yes but my post was initiated because I have several encrusted a couple inches. I have some of the smaller frags plugs but need grow out encrusting room for the next couple months.
