How to secure LPS coral to the sandbed?

[adamf83]

I have a single LPS coral, on the sandbed but struggling to find a way to keep it upright. My dwarf angel picks at it and in the process manages to move it around. Just wondering what others do because I’m forever sitting it back in the sand only to find 5 minutes after I do, it’s been moved.

You can look at purchasing a coral frag plug stand like the one below or look into a frag rock that has holes in it. Either that or buy/find a small piece of rock to anchor it to so the angel can't move it around. I have similar issues with my pistol shrimp and urchin and these solutions all work pretty well.

these are pretty cool, just make sure your sand bed is deep enough. My sand bed is pretty shallow and they stick out. Printed reef did reach out and say they can make shorter ones.
