Coral plugs

Jayrock93 · Apr 11, 2022

Ok so I bought some corals and they have the long butt plugs on them is there a way to separate that bc it looks like **** in my tank lol

Take a pair of snippers and clip the plug stems shorter (or off entirely).

I have a pair of bone cutters and I either take the coral off gently (if not encrusted or a softie) OR I cut the stem of the plug off at the base. I have even been known to cut bits off around the base if a softie so I have little showing. I hate plugs also.

Mine normally come on frag plugs! Whatever you do, don't reuse them for... anything else. A lot of corals secrete toxins! That would make for an uncomfortable night and an embarrassing trip to the ER!

But many corals ARE toxic.
