Corals on plugs

How do you transfer a coral from a plug to the rock? View attachment 3926

just glue it down, the coral will over grow the plug and it wont be visible.

Glue or reeff putty.

Looks like on your photo there is a thick layer of glue between your frag and plug you can probably pop the glue from the plug then just glue it to the rock I have done this many of times once the frag has bonded to the actual plug your better off just glueing the plug to the rock.

Will give these suggestions a try, just don't want to hurt the corals trying to get the bases off.

You won't hurt it. That looks like a nice shroom.

You can pop them off of their bases, it's easier than you think. Don't worry about then being out if the water for a little bit.

Put the acans in the shade a little, and they will puff up a bunch.

Thanks for the help. will keep you updated on how my progress is.

Yes just pop it off, then re glue.
