Frag plug securing

[HKfshkpr1]

OK I got my Dragon Breath and some other frags. They're nicely anchored in plugs about 3/8" dia. at the base.
My plan is to drill 3/8" shallow holes( I'll double check size first) in my base rocks and plug them in.
Are there better ways? Thanks!

from what i know, people usually cut off as much of the dealer's plug as possible to avoid pests and what not then just glue them down using gel super glue.

I usually just use some wire cutters and remove the stem. The disk is then super glued to the rocks or just left on the sand bed. In some cases though you can just pop the coral right off the plug. Just be careful GL.

I usually just dip, snip the stem off the plug and use D+D Two Part in the pinkish color.

Thank you everyone!
I plan to "quarantine" my frags first so is it OK to leave the plugs alone? The algae look so secure in them. Are the plugs bad for the long term?
