I hate frag plugs! How do you handle them when adding corals to your display tank.

What the heck... Frag plugs are getting bigger, thicker, and harder to cut. I've had a couple frags I ended up just finding a place in the rock to stick the whole plug because I couldn't cut it. Can you guys tell me what you are doing with them.

Prying and cutting and destroying the plug as safely for the coral as I can. Keeping a blast area in front of me clear when the plaster shoots off to never be found once it cuts through. You know, the usual stuff.

Just cut the end with bone cutters but there are some that barely fit

I use a Dremel with a diamond blade

I usually remove the coral from the plug, even when its already encrusted. nothing uglier than the unnatural shape of the plug showing through the coral

So you detach it from irs encrusted base?
