Ideas for frag to be temporarily held in rock???....

[Colorz]

Hey hey reefers
Recently got some beauties at frag swap. I want to see how a few of them respond to where I'd like to place them to make sure they're happy before permanently attaching to rock. Yes, I could put frag there now BUT Dozer, my turbo snail would for sure knock them off.

Any ideas for what I could use or do for a temporary hold??? TIA

Take a small solid rock and drill hole/s in it that accommodate the frag plug and move it around at will.

Good idea except Dozer would still knock it off rock lol
Wish there was like a temporary epoxy

I find plugs aren't too hard to remove just glued down. But they also stay in place. It may leave a bit of hard glue residue behind though.

I should add that I clip the "plug part" off and just use the disc. You would need a hole for the plug.

+1 on this cyanoacrylate glue is really brittle its not hard to move a glued down frag if needed.

The printed reef makes little frag holders you can glue to the rock and just swap frags out whenever

you can just buy a small cheap frag rack from amazon, I think its only $20, then you can move it up and down as you like to decide its final spot.

Was going to mention this, they also have these little plug holders that have a little stick on them that you can stick into holes in your rock, I’ve got a couple and they work pretty well.
