Your Choice Aquatics 0.75″ Cement Frag Plug Packs – Reef-Safe Coral Propagation Plugs

About This Product

The Your Choice Aquatics 0.75″ Cement Frag Plug Packs provide a convenient, durable, and economical solution for mounting, propagating, growing, and displaying coral fragments in saltwater reef aquariums. Available in 25, 50, and 100-count packs, these compact cement frag plugs are ideal for reef aquarium hobbyists, coral collectors, fragging enthusiasts, and commercial coral propagation operations.

Coral propagation is an important part of responsible reef aquarium keeping, allowing aquarists to grow new colonies, expand their collections, and share propagated corals with other enthusiasts. High-quality frag plugs provide a stable mounting surface where coral fragments can attach and gradually develop into established colonies.

Featuring a 0.75-inch (3/4-inch) mounting surface, these compact cement frag plugs offer an excellent foundation for smaller coral fragments, including SPS corals, Zoanthids, Palythoa, and suitable soft coral varieties. Their size makes them particularly useful for organizing numerous specimens in dedicated frag tanks and coral grow-out systems.

The cement-based construction provides a sturdy, natural-looking mounting surface that can be secured with reef-safe cyanoacrylate gel or suitable coral mounting epoxy. As corals grow, many species gradually encrust across the plug, helping create a secure and natural attachment.

Unlike larger frag discs, these compact plugs require relatively little space in coral propagation systems. Their stemmed design allows them to be positioned in compatible frag racks, egg-crate grids, and coral holders, making it easy to organize coral collections by species, coloration, growth rate, or propagation stage.

Available in multiple package quantities, these cement frag plugs offer flexibility for different aquarium projects. Smaller 25-count packs are convenient for hobbyists maintaining a few coral varieties, while 50-count and 100-count packs are particularly useful for larger collections, coral fragging events, and commercial propagation systems.

Whether you’re building your first coral frag rack, expanding a Zoanthid garden, or preparing a collection of SPS frags for growth and resale, Your Choice Aquatics 0.75″ Cement Frag Plug Packs provide a practical and affordable coral mounting solution.

Recommended Applications:

SPS Coral Propagation

These compact cement plugs are excellent for mounting small-polyp stony coral fragments, including Acropora, Montipora, Birdsnest, Stylophora, and Pocillopora.

Their smaller mounting surface helps maximize space in SPS frag racks while providing a secure base for coral skeleton attachment.

Zoanthid and Palythoa Gardens

The 0.75-inch mounting area provides a convenient starting point for single polyps or small groups of Zoanthids and Palythoa.

As the colony establishes itself, polyps may gradually spread across the plug and onto surrounding surfaces.

Always use appropriate protective equipment when handling Zoanthids and Palythoa because some species can contain dangerous palytoxin.

Soft Coral Propagation

Suitable soft coral fragments may be attached using methods appropriate to the species.

Some soft corals require temporary mechanical attachment, such as mesh or rubble containment, rather than direct adhesive application to living tissue.

Small LPS Coral Fragments

Certain small LPS fragments may be mounted on these plugs when the fragment’s skeletal attachment area is compatible with the mounting surface.

Larger or rapidly expanding LPS corals may require a wider frag disc or mounting rock.

Commercial Coral Grow-Out Systems

The 50-count and 100-count packs are especially useful for aquarium stores, coral propagation facilities, frag swaps, and reef enthusiasts maintaining larger coral collections.

Their compact dimensions make it easier to maintain organized rows of coral frags in compatible propagation racks.

Installation and Usage Instructions:

1. Prepare the Frag Plugs

Inspect the plugs for damage, loose particles, or manufacturing residue.

Rinse thoroughly with clean saltwater or purified water before use.

Confirm that the cement plugs have been fully cured and are safe for aquarium use. If curing status is unknown, soak the plugs separately and monitor pH before introducing them into an established reef system.

2. Select the Coral Fragment

Choose a healthy coral fragment that fits comfortably on the 0.75-inch mounting surface.

Inspect new corals for visible pests, damaged tissue, and signs of disease before mounting.

Use appropriate handling and cutting procedures for each coral species.

3. Apply Reef-Safe Adhesive

Place a small amount of reef-safe cyanoacrylate gel or suitable coral epoxy onto the mounting surface.

Position the coral’s skeleton or appropriate attachment area against the adhesive and hold it in place until the bond begins to set.

Avoid covering sensitive living coral tissue with excessive adhesive.

4. Position the Frag Plug

Place the mounted coral in a compatible frag rack, coral holder, or stable area of aquarium rockwork.

Make sure the plug is secure and will not tip over or become displaced by water movement or aquarium inhabitants.

5. Provide Proper Coral Conditions

Adjust lighting, water flow, and placement according to the specific coral species.

The frag plug itself does not determine the required lighting or water flow; the needs of the mounted coral should always guide aquarium placement.

6. Monitor Coral Growth

Observe the coral regularly for healthy tissue expansion, new growth, and secure attachment.

Many coral species gradually grow across the cement surface and eventually establish themselves on neighboring aquarium structures.

Maintenance and Care Recommendations:

Inspect frag plugs regularly for unwanted algae, debris accumulation, or nuisance organisms.

Remove settled detritus using gentle water movement or appropriate aquarium maintenance tools.

Maintain adequate spacing between coral fragments to reduce competition and accidental contact.

Replace any plugs that become cracked, unstable, or structurally damaged.

When reusing a frag plug, remove old adhesive and biological residue as appropriate, then clean and rinse it thoroughly before mounting a new specimen.

Avoid introducing household cleaning chemicals, soaps, or other contaminants into the aquarium.

Monitor aquarium pH and alkalinity when introducing large quantities of newly manufactured cement-based materials, particularly if their curing status is uncertain.

Important Product Information:

Your Choice Aquatics 0.75″ Cement Frag Plug Packs are designed for coral propagation and mounting in saltwater reef aquariums.

The plugs are available in three package quantities: 25, 50, and 100 pieces.

Unlike ceramic plugs, cement-based products may require curing before aquarium use. Confirm the manufacturer’s curing status and preparation instructions for the specific batch before placing them into a reef aquarium.

The nominal 0.75-inch dimension refers to the mounting surface. Exact stem dimensions and appearance may vary.

Corals, mounting adhesives, frag racks, and propagation tools are not included unless separately specified.

Recommended application: Durable, economical 0.75-inch cement frag plugs ideal for SPS coral propagation, Zoanthid and Palythoa gardens, suitable soft corals, and coral grow-out systems. Available in convenient 25, 50, and 100-count packs for both hobbyist and commercial reef aquarium use.
