Collection: Frag Plugs and Discs

A Base the Coral Can Encrust

Nothing grows out until it has something to hold onto. Shape decides how the frag sits and how easily it moves later — a stemmed plug drops into egg crate or a rack hole, while a disc or tile sits flat on rock or sand.

Shapes and Materials

• Stemmed plugs — 3/8 inch stems with standard or wide crowns, sized for standard egg crate.
• Discs — round bases from roughly 1-1/4 inch to 3 inch, for corals with a broad encrusting foot.
• Tiles — square bases, small and large.
• Flat limestone bases — stable footings that sit on the bottom or bury in sand.
• Materials — fused reef-sand mounts, and fired ceramic where a harder base is wanted.
• Pack sizes — 10, 15, 20, 25 and 100 piece packs, for one session or a full propagation bench.

Ceramic mounts arrive dry and need no curing. Sand-based mounts are typically rinsed and soaked in tank water before anything gets glued to them. Either way, pick the shape you will want to be handling six months from now. Questions? Email info@jlaquatics.com. Ships across the US and Canada.
