    just take a sharp knife, scalpel or scissors and cut it off and then rubberbands the frag to the plug

    Leathers tend to get slimy and nasty, so superglu doesnt work very well, hence the rubberbands. Just leave the frag be for several weeks once you move it and then it shall attach to the rock.

    if you can remove the rock I like to frag things out of the tank.......if not the slime will be fine. With all leathers, you should be running carbon and that will take care of it!
