I have a colony of Acan Lords that is has been growing fast lately. Ive always kept it on the sand with the plug its on pushed down into the sand. Now, everyday Its plug has been coming out of the sand and tipping on its side. I looks like this is happening because the heads that have grown in on the bottom are expanding and that pushes it out of the sand. Could this be? And is it normal? I have several other corals on plugs and this is the only one that gets pulled out. Wondering if i should keep putting it back in the sand or just leave it alone. Thanks Jake

| I would just cut the stem off the plug, and reglue it onto a flat small piece of Live Rock. |
