Frag Plugs - Purple 50pk
A purple plug is the fastest way to spot which frags are new when you're scanning a packed frag rack. The EcoTech Marine Frag Plugs – Purple 50pk are pH-neutral, kiln-fired ceramic discs with a scored top face that coral glue and gel-based cements key into immediately, on a slotted base built to sit straight into a standard egg-crate frag rack. Fifty plugs in one bag covers a full colony workover, and the colour makes recent cuts easy to pick out at a glance in a mixed display.
Key features
- High-visibility purple – makes recently placed frags easy to spot against rock and other plug colours.
- Scored top surface – gives coral glue and epoxy putty a rough face to key into, so frags bond fast and don't slide off before they've encrusted.
- Slotted base – sits directly into standard egg-crate (light diffuser grid) frag racks with no extra fittings.
- Kiln-fired, pH-neutral ceramic – won't shift tank chemistry the way some resin or cement plugs can.
- Bulk pack of 50 – covers most full-tank fragging sessions without reordering mid-job.

Common questions
Will the purple dye leach into my tank water?
No – the colour is fired into the ceramic body itself, the same pH-neutral material used across the range, so it won't leach into reef water.
Does the colour affect coralline algae growth on the plug?
Not that EcoTech documents – coralline coverage depends on tank parameters and lighting, not plug colour.
Can I use these in a freshwater or planted tank?
No – frag plugs are made for coral fragging in marine and reef systems only.
