Removing reef epoxy putty

[Emarley]

Hello fellow reefers,

Not sure where to post this so hopefully I’ll get the answer I’m looking for here.
Got a candy cane that I’ve attached the frag plug to my live rock with reef epoxy putty, it was doing well initially but now doesn’t seem happy where it is so want to move it to a different area in my tank. I can remove the rock, my question is what is the best way to break the epoxy bond, with the frag plug intact, without damaging my coral.

Thanks in advance

Dom

Just wedge a screwdriver or something between the rock and the plug. The Epoxy is relatively brittle and it should just crumble away for you.

Agree with above, I use a thin screwdriver and pry it off, the epoxy putting will come off.
