Button Polyps Taking Over!

It started out as a single green button polyp that suddenly appeared on on of my LR. Unfortunately now they are getting out of control and have spread throughout the tank. They're starting to crowd out other coral. Any suggestions on how to best cut back and/or control the population of the polyps?

Sell the rocks they're on, install new rock. If really large rock, frag the rock.
Post your params in the zoa forum.
Honestly they can be peeled, but are likely to regrow.
