Coral plugs or not?

[mike007]

Do you remove your corals from the plugs or do you leave them on and plant into tank?

Remove. I hate plugs with a passion and have no clue why everyone uses them. They are such an eye sore. Don't get what's so hard just get some live rock bust it up and glue to rocks. Then it will look natural in tank not like a coral on a ice cream cone or a dinner plate.

lol I totally agree.

Hate plugs.
I usually have some LR rubble that I will glue frags to instead, then glue those down to rock.

Not a fan of plugs but sometimes I have to suck it up especially when you get a nice leptoseris, or psammacora that has already encrusted partially.

lol @ Jonreefer ... i don't mind the circular part but the extensions for egg crates suck... how many people have egg crate in their DT ...

The bottom knob on the plug is easy to cut off. Does anyone know a good way to remove acros from plugs?

Hate them, if I can get the coral off it great, if not I chop the bottom off and place.
