Does anyone make a frag rack disc for sand bottom?

[MohrReefs]

I'm getting rid of a gsp rock soon which will open some serious real estate for larger lps in the center sand bed. Problem is, I have a lovely, sweet and caring Diamond goby that will dump pounds of sand on anything too close to the sand bed. I feel like I've seen frag plates for the sand bed, this would keep him from sifting near them and avoid irritation to the coral but I cant find it anywhere. Or maybe I'm using the wrong terminology. Any advice?

There are rock shaped frag holders that may be handy. These can sit in the sand.

this disc would be buried in the sand or sitting on it ?
I’ve seen square large tiles and assume they might work for what you’re looking for

Probably just sitting on the sand bed but it will likely get buried a bit over time.

Yeah that was going to be my backup plan.

I might consider making this your primary plan. This is just me. It the look of a plastic rack even if partly covered by lps to me does not look as nice. You could also take the frag off the plug and glue it directly to a piece of rock which is what I do

Its looking to be that way. I know I saw a tank with a disc frag holder that was sitting in sand on here before but I cant find them online. Ill more than likely go the rock route.

I made a single Frag stand to keep my clove polyps free of detritus on my barebottom, it works great.

Could get a small piece of rock and drill your own hole for a frag plug

Thats not a bad idea!

1/2" masonry bit in an impact drill works great. I drill my rocks all the time for frags.
an impact or hammer drill makes quick work of it.

or have someone 3d print something pteg is perfectly fish safe.

Do you mean something like this:

This is exactly what I have! Keeps everything nice and elevated

Yep 1/2” masonry bit and a piece of rock.

I use rock back splash tiles from the big box and drill holes to place the plugs, they work great. They come in a bunch of sizes 3" x 6", 3" x 3", 4" x4".
