Is this bryopsis algae?

[Spiderguardnano]

if so should i just take a razor and pop the zoa off the plug and super glue it to a new plug?

Pop the zoa off the plug and glue it to your rock throw the plug in the trash. Not sure if its byropsis. Hard to tell in the pic, if it looks feathery, it could be.

Some frag plugs are easier than others to remove. If its really giving you a hard time just crush the plug with a pair of pliers but be careful that it does not break and fly across the room. Some use a dremel and some use bone crushers. Id start with a razor blade and slowly and carefully try to cut/pry up under the glue that they used to attach to plug. It should pop right off.

Also I use a small ball (half a marble size) of reef epoxy as well as super glue gel and attach to the bottom of the frag and then get another ball size piece of epoxy putty w/ glue and put that piece on the live rock where you plan to attach plug. Then simply put glue on the bottom of the frag and attach to the putty you just glued to the rock. Hope that makes sense.

So it should go like this....

rock, glue, putty, glue, putty, frag

I like to remive my frag plugs as much as possible as it give the reef a more natural look
