When to mount frags?

Hey my turbos keep knocking over my frags which are mounted on frag plugs. the frags are roughly 3-4 weeks old. i want to mount them on rubble. what is the best way of doing this? should i remove them from the frag plugs or just glue the plugs to the rubble? my guess is that if i were to cut the frags there would be a change that they won't bounce back since they are rather fresh..

If you would like to mount them on rocks in the DT then I would recommend gluing them to the rocks with pure superglue or a brand name product like Holdfast, which will keep the frags secured onto the rock. You will initially be able to see the frag plug but the coral will grow over it eventually.

thanks for the replies. i purchased ecotech coral glue. so there is no point in removing the frag from the plug?
