Frag plugs, keep or remove them?

[skinz78]

I see a lot of people just glue the frag plugs to the sub strait when they add new frags so I though I would do a poll on everyone's thoughts of this.

My question is do you remove the frag plug or not and why do you do it your way? Please explain.

I made this a multiple choice poll so please if you do it more than one way choose the appropriate answers.

For me I try to remove all of them if I can, but some times there are some frags that ether just won't come off or I think they will do better on the plug so I leave them there.

My opinion is that the frag plugs release phosphates so I want to get as many of them out of the DT as possible, plus they don't look natural to me.

I remove EVERY single time. I HATE frag plugs in my display. Since this tank has been up and going, I have a small bucket full of them since I've bought most of my corals at frag swaps.

I keep them on the plug til I find where they like to be in the DT and the razor them off and glue them to the spot they liked.

Depends on the frag... I would usually opt for gluing it to a piece of rubble and then gluing that to a piece of 3/16in. acrylic rod. Much easier to place.

I try and remove if I can. I just don't like the way they look.
