How do you keep your frag plugs clean of algae? My frag rack is not very accessible to my tangs for them to clean them .
 
Ceramic plugs get less algae than the aragonite ones in case you don't have ceramic. You can use a toothbrush dipped in hydrogen peroxide to scrub plug as well. Scrub, wash in saltwater, put back in tank.
 
Accessible by your hands though?
(Gloves on) 2 tubs of aquriam water. Take frag out of aquriam, let whatevers on frag plug close up, place and brush off in first tub with toothbrush, rinse in 2nd tub, back in aquriam, 1 2 3 easy,, don't forget to clean frag rack
 
I pick them up and use a tooth brush in a bowl of tank water then put them back.
I do the same sometimes I replace the frag plug for a clean one when possible .
