can black oxide drill bit be used on calcium base frag plug?

Hi,
I bought that type of drill bit set. Can it be used on:
https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/ocean...s-25-pack.html ?
I wanted to drill a hole in the plug to in-set my acro frag in each one so it gets a good footing.

Thanks!

yes. but not really sure why you want to drill them... some super glue works just fine to hold them and they will encrust in no time

CTaylor, I drill some of my frag plugs for branching corals too. I find it much easier to get a long term hold on the frag.
