Default Best style of frag plug

In your opinion, if you could have custom or store bought frag plugs (ceramic) what design would you prefer

ATM I'm working on making ceramic plugs similar to the plastic ora plugs and want some ideas

I prefer tiles - 2x2", 3x3" and 4x4". Tough to find reef-designed ceramic tiles.

I prefer LR rubble, so for me they'd have to be deformed little blobs of rough edges and such

never liked artificial look of plugs so would mount frags on LR rubble, if moulding that shape would be my choice

I only use plugs as temporary storage, so don't much care. Cheaper the better. As long as it fits in a frag rack or piece of egg crate.

Hey, I thought you didn't have any opinions worth publishing

I think you guys misunderstood this thread... What style frag PLUG.... Not what style frag disk, not what style lr rubble.... Neither of those sit in the holes on egg crate or of a frag rack

In that case, I hate all frag plugs, so I can't help you with your plans

I prefer frag disks. Especially for frags that encrust like montis, zoas, etc. When I get a frag plug I cut off the peg to turn it into a disk. I also like frag rubble that easily epoxies to the rock and disappears.

I need a type of plug that can't be pushed out too easily by fish from the underside of my frag rack.

I am making something similar I'll post a pic once I'm done making a couple
