• Enriched with calcium and magnesium — promotes rapid and safe coral growth
• Unique hexagonal shape — fits tightly on egg crate for rapid propagation
• Compact standard format — ideal for small fragments and individual pieces
• Compatible with all types of corals — SPS, LPS, soft corals, colonial polyps, sessile invertebrates
• Designed for propagation — encrusting corals like zoanthids spread rapidly from plug to plug
• Pack of 12 plugs

Use in reef aquariums

Coral Plugs are ideal for fragging and coral propagation. Their design reduces the time needed to establish new, viable colonies, whether for sale or to repopulate a reef system. The plugs can be placed individually in the desired location within the aquarium or arranged in a network on an egg crate grid to create an organized culture system. The hexagonal shape ensures that encrusting corals quickly colonize the spaces between adjacent plugs.

Instructions for use

• Rinse the plugs before use
• Dab the top of the plug to dry it
• Apply a small amount of cyanoacrylate glue (such as Seachem Reef Glue) to the plug
• Press the coral fragment and the plug together for 20 seconds
• Place individually in the aquarium or arrange in a network on an egg crate

Coral Plugs Standard vs Large

The standard format offers a compact base ideal for small fragments and individual frags. The large format offers an expanded base for larger fragments and colonies requiring more surface area for adhesion. Both formats share the same hexagonal shape and calcium and magnesium enrichment. Choose the standard format for small fragments and high-density propagation systems.

Why choose Coral Plugs from ReefSolution?

Coral Plugs are the essential tool for reef aquarists who practice fragging. Combine them with Seachem Reef Glue for a secure and quick bond. For larger fragments, Seachem Coral Plugs Large offer an expanded base. Use Seachem Reef Dip to disinfect your frags before mounting.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of glue should I use with Coral Plugs?

Seachem recommends Reef Glue, a cyanoacrylate adhesive designed for reef aquariums. Apply it to the plug and press the fragment in place for 20 seconds. Any reef-safe cyanoacrylate adhesive can also be used.

What is the difference between Standard and Large Coral Plugs?

The standard size is compact, ideal for small fragments and high-density propagation on egg crates. The large size offers a larger base for colonies and bulky fragments requiring more stability and surface area for adhesion.

Do the Coral Plugs fit on egg crate?

Yes. Their hexagonal shape is specifically designed to fit tightly onto standard egg crate grids, allowing encrusting corals to quickly colonize the spaces between adjacent plugs.
