Coral Plugs Large 12 pcs — Frag Plugs Enriched with Calcium and Magnesium | Seachem

Seachem Coral Plugs Large are wide-based fragging substrates enriched with calcium and magnesium, designed for the stable mounting and growth of all coral fragments and colonies. Their unique hexagonal shape allows for a tight fit on egg crate grids, facilitating the rapid propagation of encrusting corals and zoanthids from one plug to the next. The Large size provides a larger base for increased support of SPS and LPS coral fragments, soft corals, and colonial polyps. Pack of 12 plugs.

Main advantages

• Expanded base (Large format) — increased support for fragments and colonies of all sizes
• Enriched with calcium and magnesium — promotes rapid and safe coral growth
• Unique hexagonal shape — fits tightly on egg crate for rapid propagation
• 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

Large 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 Large vs. Coral Plugs Standard

The Large format offers a larger base than the standard format, providing greater stability for larger fragments and colonies. Both formats share the same hexagonal shape and calcium and magnesium enrichment. Choose the Large format for LPS colonies, large SPS fragments, or mounts requiring more surface area for adhesion.

Why choose Coral Plugs from ReefSolution?

Large Coral Plugs are an essential tool for reef aquarists who fragment. Combine them with Seachem Reef Glue for a secure and quick bond. For cutting and propagation tools, see Aquavitro's line of aquarium tools. Coral Plugs are also compatible with egg crate culture systems for commercial or home propagation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of glue should I use with Coral Plugs?

Seachem recommends Reef Glue, a cyanoacrylate adhesive designed for use in 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.

Do Coral Plugs work on egg crates?

Yes. Their hexagonal shape is specifically designed to fit tightly onto standard egg crate grids. This facilitates the creation of organized culture systems and allows encrusting corals to quickly colonize the spaces between the plugs.

Are Coral Plugs safe for corals and invertebrates?

Yes. Coral Plugs are enriched with calcium and magnesium, essential elements for coral growth. They are safe for all SPS and LPS corals, soft corals, colonial polyps, and sessile invertebrates.
