Switching out past the bread and butter

Ok guys, so had my RSR 450 up for a few years now. Had a heck of a time getting it up on all cylinders (dry rock is a pita). Anyway I stocked it with the typical starter sticks and now these colonies are too dang big. Ready to start switching over to more select sticks. Esp since these dang corals are bailing out polyps left and right just for fun. They are starting to become like the sps Xenia or gsp.
my question is should I just remove the whole dang mother or frag the crap out of them. Use kale paste to kill off the roots?

break off at the base and frag it all up and sell it for $5-10 per frag or trade with locals in your area. Might even be able to get trade credit at your LFS. I used to do that regularly with a pink birdsnest I had that was growing like a weed.

The stylo on the right won't spread, but I would totally get rid of the pocci on the left. They can spread around a tank.

I thought I got rid of my Pocci 10 years ago. Some how they still pop up
