I am looking at getting a couple of starter zoa frags and I have a plan with my aquascape to grow a garden of them on a large piece of dead staghorn coral that is separate from my other rock work. (see below)
My question is what everyone here does with the plug/disk it comes on? After you acclimate, dip, and QT do you generally cut off the plug and glue the disk to your rock? I am seeing a lot of videos where people don't seem to want to glue things to the foundation rock. Can I take a razor blade and scrape the frag off the disk and glue it directly to the rock? When I did this before I was seemingly always keeping the plug and found a way to put it in the rock but I am kinda questioning the aesthetic of the plug and disk for the first months of it's growth. Can anyone share what you do and the benefits?
