Removable frags/colonies with tube inserts?

[BAUCE]

I recently saw a post where a guy was using plastic tubes that can be glued to rocks. Another tube is then glued to the bottom of a frag and then that tube slides over the one on the rock so that you can remove them when needed. I've also seen TSA do this with what looked like PVC for there large colonies.

Does anyone have a link to something like this? I would love to be able to easily remove corals from rocks for fragging and thought this might be a cool option.

This is nothing new. We were gluing rigid hardline to frag plugs 20+ years ago with Fiji rock and simply setting them into crevices. predrilling rocks as you setup the tank can help with that.

Yeah I understand the concept isnt new as I've done what you're talking about in the past. I just saw a specific thread where one hard plastic rod was being placed into a larger one. Trying to find that right now.

Fiberglass rod from driveway markers or something bigger like acrylic rod?

almost looked like hollow acrylic rods but seemed smaller. I've used fiberglass rod in my current tank but I dont feel like drilling the rocks.
