#2 is designed to lock into sloped frag racks and is balanced so it won't spin

Question: How will most of these frag plugs work when it comes to taking them off a frag rack and sticking them into a display tank? Do you cut the frag off the plug when you buy them? Do you snap off the "legs"? Or do you drill large holes into your live rock to stick the four legs in? I'm NOT trying to be sarcastic but I'm looking at them and trying to figure out how I would mount the four legged plugs into my display tank.

Sorry, I don't like any of them. I like disks. My next pick would be #4, but only if it fits into eggcrate and standard racks - it looks kinda big.

I'm with you. I only use plugs to temporarily hold in a rack, and then it gets mounted to rock. I suppose if you don't mount frags and prefer the colonies to be movable, then the others have merit.

Snap off the legs

#4 for me and as Myka said, only if it fits in egg crate or eshopps acrylic racks. I don't mean to be rude but all of the others look horrible and would never go to a market in my opinion.

My vote is number 4 easy to Pop the frag off plug if needed. Some look like burned marshmallows.

I liked the ones I got from u guys before as I could just chisel (yes I have a chisel too, my tool box is growing) them down to fit the hole I was trying to jam them into

What's the difference between 3, 5, 6 and 7? They kinda look the same.

4 is the only one I like from those options, but it still seems much bulkier then the ones on the market right now. Sometimes the hole im trying to jam the frag plug into on my rock is smaller then the peg. Be nice to see some thinner ones.

Yep #4 is my plug of choice, easy to cut the bottom stem off if the frag is already encrusted on the top half, if not just slide a blade under to remove the frag all together. Tiles or discs work great for encrusting monti's and chalices or smaller frags.
