Here is a link to the ebay seller I've been using.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/25-CURED-REEF-SMALL-DISC-PLUGS-LIVE-CORAL-FRAG-PROPAGATION-/180870594655?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2a1cba405f (http://www.ebay.com/itm/25-CURED-REEF-SMALL-DISC-PLUGS-LIVE-CORAL-FRAG-PROPAGATION-/180870594655?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2a1cba405f)

or direct to his web store.

He did screw up my order twice, however both were promptly correctly without being asked to return the incorrectly shipped product.  I've had good luck with them, only complaint is that they are a thicker that I would like.  But for the price I'll keep using them.

Yeah thats who I buy mine from as well. Have delt with him four different times and no issues. If you ask he ships multiple orders for one shipping cost. Then can just mix and match sizes. I tried a few different styles before finding size and shape that work best for me.

I use Ocean Wonders non-ceramic discs/plugs.  The larger ones I order in bulk directly from Ocean Wonders' website.  The smaller 0.75" plugs from Ocean Wonders are actually cheaper on eBay in bulk and include free shipping.

Whaeres everyone getting thier cutters?  Ive seen some cheap ones on ebay but I wonder is they hold up as well as my Dr. Foster "stainless" 12" tongs..  You know the ones with rust all over them.  Maybe they dont nderstand there are different grades of stainless steel.

I picked up some glueless frag plugs at the swap. I have yet to use them. But seems like a great idea. They had 2 sizes. I got the small. I have a few peices of my birds nest fall off. With these all I have to do is poke it in the hole "that's what she said". They are made by Sea Solutions. I will have to see how good they work.

I bought mine 100for $20 on eBay. Than I figured for softy and polyps rubble rock would be a better option. It is a lot cheaper & easier to attach.

I picked up some of the glue less frag plugs at the swap Saturday and used about 6 of them this morning. So far, they're holding great.
