Since you're on the topic of frag plugs . . . I historically had a problem with frag plug and LR rubble growing algae. The algae then prevented the coral from spreading, and slowing growth.
For the past few months, I've had my 10 gallon tank set up with a HOB Whisper filter. I pulled the media and filters out and replaced them with LR rubble. I use the rubble to mount frags now, and since it's already been seasoned in the water and is colonized by bacteria, algae are unable to grab a foothold. All of my frags have been doing much better using these cured pieces of rubble instead of "fresh" frag plugs or rubble.

rock rubble is good for zoas and other things......i prefer to use plugs/discs for sps at least to start out.
back when my tank was younger i had hair algae probs on frag plugs and egg crate....but i haven't had that problem for quite a while.
