I'd opt for ceramic tile over natural travertine as it could contain impurities, should be cheaper too.

+1 on tavertine tiles

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.

i picked a frag up from Dez once that was done this way. Love the idea. Anything else I break the corals off usually.

Doug I have boxes of rough black slate floor tile, your welcome to some of it if you want.

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.
