Go ahead and break them as they are single cell algae and do not spread spors unless they are going sexual. there were wives tales going around that if you break them they will spread. this has been stated as false by a few bigger names except for the case of when they are turning sexual, but if they are hard this isn't the case.
At any rate I still try to remove them with out breaking them but I am only sucessfull about 50% of the time.
