Boston Aqua Farms Ceramic Frag Discs
Boston Aqua Farms' ceramic frag discs are known for consistent, low-cost bulk production that makes them ideal for farms, clubs and hobbyists who need large quantities without breaking the bank. Technically they offer a flatter, wider surface that favors encrusting corals and anchoring larger plant bases, though they are typically less finely finished and slightly less porous than premium ceramic brands. Financially they undercut premium options like OceanBox and match well with Bulk Reef Supply for volume purchases, making them the practical choice when per-piece cost matters most.

Innovative Marine Gourmet Gadget Frag Station
Innovative Marine Gourmet Gadget Frag Station stands out as a market leader for hobbyists who want a polished, multi-tier grow-out platform with thoughtful features and a refined finish. It commands a higher price than the Eshopps and Aquatop magnetic racks but returns value through superior aesthetics, expanded capacity and accessory compatibility, making it preferable for display-oriented propagation and reefkeepers upgrading beyond entry-level gear. Compared with modular commercial systems like the Reef Rack 32, it favors form and integrated convenience over maximum scalability, which is ideal for advanced home propagation setups.

Polyp Lab Coral Glue is a specialized, fast-setting coral-safe adhesive designed by a reef-focused brand to minimize stress and residue on sensitive corals. It claims a premium position due to its precision applicator and formulation tuned for fragging β curing quickly like Seachem but with a finer control that hobbyists appreciate when working on delicate specimens, albeit often at a slightly higher price point. Versus two-part epoxies and putties, Polyp Lab trades ultimate structural strength for speed, low toxicity, and exact placement during delicate mounting tasks.
