Colt Coral

Few months ago I purchased a nice colt coral frag for $5. It was about 2" tall and had a few branches.

Well, now it's probaly 4 to 5" tall with lots of branches and many many times the branches have broken off and the suckers are all over the place. I've gotten to the point that if I see them breaking off or floating around they get trashed.

How do I control/get rid of the ones that have attached themselves to the rocks/glass/pumps, etc?

Thanks

I'm using the razor but getting to some w/o tearing apart a lot of the rockskaping is a problem - if you don't get it al l will they grow back?

Thought about selling them - just need to get to that point I guess. As quick as they multiply I can't see there being much of a demand.
