I picked up my first few frags this last weekend. I have them in my quarantine tank. i am not sure what to expect for growth but the coral is already at the bottom edge on 1 and near it in others. I am thinking maybe mount it to a piece of rubble. I can’t just let it grow through my rack.. what is the way I should handle it?

Just a cpl I’m looking at helping
 
That's a great problem to have! :)

If you want to do something a bit more space efficient, multiple online vendors sell large and extra large ceramic frag disks and squares that do not have posts on the bottom. Cut off the stem of your current plug with a pair of bone cutters or a dremel tool and glue them right onto the disk or square.
