Dummy question. Is it in the best interest for the hammer coral to be taken off and separated from the frag plug and superglued to the desired location on the rock ??

Sounds good. It’s popping up really nicely on the plug and I already glued the plug down on the rock so I’ll just let it be. Won’t be an issue with the growth?Either way works.
I have some I glued the plug down, because I couldn't remove the plug without damaging the base of the coral. Some I've taken off the plug, and epoxied onto the rocks. Both do fine.
Sweeeet looks nice appreciate itFrogspawn dead center of the tank started as 2 heads on a plug. I couldn't remove the plug from this one so I glued it down. Pretty sure as you can tell, the plug didn't inhibit growth one bit(FWIW, I have fragged this many times over the years and by the looks of it, its time again. lol).
Yeah I think I’m just gonna keep mine on the plug it’s not bulky and it’s flat rounded so it fits nicely and glued well to the rock so meh we will see what happens !I was trying to cut the plug down so it wasn’t so bulky and the hammer came off. I just superglued it to the rock and she is happy as can be
On a side note I’m going to be trying reef roids to enhance my color and growth in my corals so we will see how it goesI was trying to cut the plug down so it wasn’t so bulky and the hammer came off. I just superglued it to the rock and she is happy as can be
Exactly my thought why worry about it when it’s going to be covered and ate up lolSome people hate the look of plugs in a tank. I personally usually leave them be, and just cut the stem off, or using 2 part epoxy, just epoxy the stem into a hole in the rock.
The coral will eventually cover the plug and you'll never see it.
Kind-of like tanks bare bottom vs having sand. I’m bare Bottom and love itSome people hate the look of plugs in a tank. I personally usually leave them be, and just cut the stem off, or using 2 part epoxy, just epoxy the stem into a hole in the rock.

Yes sir I’ve heard that before I have phosguard on standby right now lol but I’ll be feeding very little I usually feed mysis but I’m looking for growth and see how this will work out. I don’t have much just the hammer coral zoas and this thing so we will see how it goes and how it works the video I posted shows a good way to feed instead of just throwing it all in the tankBe careful with reef roids. It is very high in phosphates. A little bit goes a very long way.
If you find your corals regurgitating it, stop using it. I found most of my LPS didn't like it. They preferred meatier foods like mysis.
Oh dang- I just gave mine their 2nd dose this morning- as I plan on doing a water change tomorrow anyways. I’ll have to watch for this- and maybe feed at night so I can pay attention. Also thought that if I feed at night- my lights won’t be on cooking it and turning it into algeaBe careful with reef roids. It is very high in phosphates. A little bit goes a very long way.
