Needed a removable frag plug for my torch corals. Torches sometimes needs to be dipped to get rid of flatworm infestations and its quite a chore to have to break it off the scape and then glue it back on. Got this idea from a mate's tank when he got something similar off a chinese site. Modified the STL from https://www.printables.com/model/193397-twist-lock-connector to suit the application. Now I can twist off my euphyllia when I need to remove it for a dip.

Glue female portion to hardscape and male portion to base of coral.

Design considerations were to make it as flat as possible, sized such that flag normal frag plug can be glued to it. (Cracked an expensive torch which trying to remove it from a plug that it came in, now I just glue the original plug to this part. Also the 3 prongs make it convenient to orientate the coral to your scape.
