Another option would be drilled acrylic like the eshoppes frag racks, much easier to clean and holds plugs better.

Tbh I don't use plugs, only discs.
Will zoanthids attach to acrylic? I like the multiple racks idea, I was just gonna put 1 big rack in.

Time to buy some drill bits and drill out some acrylic I guess, my hss bits make it explode haha

They will attach to acrylic as they will also attach to eggcrate but they can be easily scrapped off acrylic. Plugs are my choice, take up less space and stay put, plus less obtrusive if mounted in a display.

For drilling plug holes in acrylic a step drill works well, ideally on a press with a depth gauge.
