How do you guys keep frags in there place???
Wondering what you guys do to keep your frags from being knocked over by snails/hermits so on. I don't want to use epoxy cause well thats pretty permanent. What other suggestions are there??? like for example...
 it has its own base, do you try to wedge them in between rocks??

use superglue GEL for smaller frags with no base. Frags mounted on a base (like yours) will require epoxy- or break it off the base and use GEL.

I peg everything. larger corals are glued or encruste dover rocks and those rocks are pegged to alrger rocks in the reef structure.
my entire reef is a frag rack. little holes drilled everywhere, and I glue a piece of 1/8- 1/4 acrylic rod the the rubble or rocks I glue the corals too. you can utilize every possible angle on every rock and it also provides all of your frags with the good lighting your colonies get instead of hanging off the wall from a piece fo eggcrate or on the floor of the tank. colonies are easily removalbe for fragging as well.  if your aquamend is easily removable, you either arent mixing it well enough or arent makind sure to get it onto the crevices, nooks and pores of y9our rock. if you do this it certainly isnt easily removable |

I use gel or epoxy...but I heard someone at a frag swap say that plastic drywall screw inserts work pretty good.
