Keep them or ditch them??? What do you think?

[St.Pete_Reefer]

Well I've been debating on what to do with these giant cup mushrooms. They are starting to take up a lot of the tank and grow more new ones here and there. I want to add more color in the tank and would have to get most of these mushrooms out.

I've even debated taking all the rock out and add new sand along with new rock and start over. (Fighting high NO3's thinking it's the sand still not sure)

Question is: Would you take them out for other corals OR just leave them in and try to work with what I have.

If it was your tank what would you do???

Pictures of how the tank is now.

Cut some off the rock and try to frag them or trade them for other coral.

That was my thought.

I would get rid of them. I had a similar experience with green palys and they nearly took over my tank. I took out whole rocks full of them and there are still a few patches here and there in places more difficult to get at. Keep a small one, if you like, but be on the lookout for new ones cropping up where you don't want them.
