Mounting a frag

[rattler]

You could use some side cutters to remove the prongs and then attach it to a spot on your LR, with marine epoxy. With time it will grow over the plug. It took less than a month before the zoah had over grown my plug, as well there is a fair amount of coraline algae growing on the plug.

side cutters? scissors!? I must have real weak hands because I can't clip the legs off with side cutters for the life of me lol

when I cut the prongs off I only use the tip of the side cutters on each prong and the prong will break the rest of the way.

I dont have any holes deep enough in my rock for the plug to go completely inside. The plug's legs still stick out a bit less than an inch. Will the zoanthids still grow ever the plug eventhough it is elevated a bit off the rock? Would it be better to mount it in my sand next to a rock?

Also, Does it matter if the frag is sideways, so the bottom polyps dont get much light? Or should I try to mount this in a spot where they are all facing upwards? I dont know if I cant find one, unless I just place it in the sand.

Yeah those plastic plugs are butt ugly.

Anyone who can answer this question?
