Get a paint scraper, slip it under the coral, and flip it off.

I would prob just glue the plug to a rock and let the coral grow around it. Looks kinda small to detach it from the plug now.

i would also the the same as above.. its too small and u might damage it and may not break clean. just epoxy the plug to rock and coral will grow over the disk and onto the rock sooner.

yeah you should wait. I ried unplugging a small zoa and I damages one polyp. It only came with 4 to begin with11

I usually just use bone cutters to break the shaft off of the plug then glue the disk to the rock. I know it looks ugly for awhile but its better to have an eye sore in the tank for a bit than damaging a frag

Any way to make it grow faster besides good water quality

You can spot feed, but you can only do so much of that without fouling the water.

Why not just cut the plug to a smaller size?
