Purchasing new corals is more fun than should be allowed. The colors, shapes, varieties etc. truly make for a nice shopping experience. Once acclimated to your tank params, popping the coral off of the disgustingly ugly “frag plugs” It’s time to mount the coral with your favorite coral glue and or epoxy.
But often times there's encrusted coral fragments still on the plug. I like to find a nice section of my 180g reef to let these plugs grow out. And they do! And I don’t have to pay for these corals again. In the attached photo are some Christmas gifts from my wife. They don’t look like much now but they will in weeks to come. Am I the only one doing this??? Merry Christmas!!!
