Your Choice Aquatics 1.25″ Cement Frag Disc Packs – Coral Propagation and Mounting Discs

About This Product

The Your Choice Aquatics 1.25″ Cement Frag Disc Packs provide a durable, affordable, and versatile solution for mounting, propagating, growing, and displaying coral fragments in saltwater reef aquariums. Featuring a compact 1.25-inch round cement mounting surface, these coral frag discs provide an excellent foundation for SPS corals, Zoanthids, Palythoa, encrusting corals, and compatible LPS and soft coral species.

Available in convenient 1, 20, 25, and 50-piece packs, these frag discs accommodate the needs of individual reef hobbyists, dedicated coral collectors, aquarium retailers, and commercial coral propagation operations.

Coral propagation plays an important role in sustainable reef keeping. By mounting fragments from established colonies onto suitable surfaces, aquarists can create new coral colonies, expand their aquarium collections, and share aquacultured corals with other enthusiasts.

The 1.25-inch diameter provides more growing area than smaller 0.75-inch plugs while maintaining a compact footprint. This makes the discs particularly useful for encrusting Montipora, Zoanthid gardens, small Chalice fragments, and other corals that benefit from a broader attachment surface.

Constructed from cement-based material, the discs offer a solid foundation for attaching coral fragments using reef-safe cyanoacrylate gel or appropriate coral mounting epoxy. Their surface provides a suitable area for adhesive bonding and gradual coral encrustation.

The round design is especially useful for organizing small coral colonies in dedicated frag trays, propagation systems, and established reef aquariums. As the coral grows, its tissue may gradually spread across the disc, helping establish a secure attachment.

Unlike traditional stemmed frag plugs, a flat frag disc can provide a broader, lower-profile mounting surface. This is particularly helpful for encrusting corals and species that spread outward rather than upward.

Whether you’re expanding a colorful Zoanthid collection, growing SPS coral fragments, preparing corals for frag swaps, or establishing a commercial propagation system, the Your Choice Aquatics 1.25″ Cement Frag Disc Packs offer a practical and economical coral mounting solution.

Recommended Applications

SPS Coral Propagation

These cement frag discs provide a convenient mounting surface for small SPS fragments, including Montipora, Acropora, Birdsnest, and Stylophora.

The wider disc design is particularly useful for encrusting species that spread across a solid surface as they develop.

Zoanthid and Palythoa Gardens

The 1.25-inch diameter provides an excellent starting platform for individual Zoanthid polyps or small clusters.

As the colony grows, additional polyps may spread across the cement surface, creating an attractive miniature colony.

Safety Warning: Some Zoanthids and Palythoa may contain dangerous palytoxin. Wear appropriate protection, avoid aerosols, and never boil or heat these corals or contaminated materials.

LPS Coral Fragments

Small LPS fragments may be mounted on these discs when their skeletal bases fit securely.

Certain encrusting Chalice corals can benefit from the broader mounting surface.

Larger LPS corals may require a wider disc or mounting rock to accommodate continued growth.

Soft Coral Propagation

Suitable soft coral fragments may be attached using species-specific methods.

Some soft corals require temporary mesh, rubble, or other gentle attachment methods instead of direct application of adhesive to living tissue.

Commercial Coral Propagation

The 20-, 25-, and 50-piece packs provide convenient quantities for aquarium shops, coral farms, and dedicated reef propagation systems.

The discs can help organize coral varieties, monitor growth, and prepare established fragments for trading or resale.

Installation and Usage Instructions

1. Inspect and Prepare the Frag Disc

Inspect the cement disc for cracks, loose particles, or other visible defects.

Rinse thoroughly with purified water or prepared saltwater to remove dust and loose debris.

Because the exact curing status of these cement discs has not been verified, confirm they are fully cured and aquarium-ready before installation.

If their curing status is uncertain, condition them separately in water and monitor pH and alkalinity.

2. Select a Healthy Coral Fragment

Choose a coral fragment appropriate for the available mounting surface.

Inspect the coral for pests, damaged tissue, and signs of poor health before mounting.

Follow suitable coral fragging procedures and protective precautions.

3. Apply Reef-Safe Adhesive

Apply an appropriate amount of reef-safe cyanoacrylate gel or coral mounting epoxy to the attachment area.

Position the coral skeleton or suitable base against the adhesive and hold it securely until the bond begins to set.

Avoid applying excessive adhesive directly to delicate living tissue.

4. Position the Mounted Coral

Place the disc in a stable propagation tray, suitable coral disc holder, or secure area of reef aquarium rockwork.

Ensure that the disc cannot slide, tip over, or become displaced by aquarium circulation or livestock.

5. Provide Appropriate Coral Conditions

Position the mounted coral according to its species-specific requirements for light, flow, and spacing.

The frag disc itself does not require a particular lighting intensity or water flow.

6. Monitor Coral Growth

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

Avoid unnecessary handling while the coral is establishing its attachment.

Transfer the coral to larger rockwork or an appropriate permanent location as it grows.

Maintenance and Care Recommendations

Inspect mounted frag discs periodically for nuisance algae, detritus accumulation, and unwanted organisms.

Maintain adequate circulation around coral fragments while avoiding excessively strong direct flow on sensitive specimens.

Keep enough distance between neighboring corals to prevent aggressive contact or competition.

Remove damaged discs that no longer provide a secure mounting surface.

When reusing a disc, carefully remove old adhesive and biological material, then clean and rinse it thoroughly before mounting a new specimen.

Avoid using household soaps, detergents, or unapproved cleaning chemicals.

Monitor aquarium pH and alkalinity when introducing large quantities of cement-based products, especially if curing status is uncertain.
