not sure getting them to you would be easy The frag tank/swap tank is a good idea, but all my corals are mounted directly to the rock, and not easily swapped in and out. To remove anything at this point is close to surgery -lol

Do what I did, take frags of all the corals you want to keep, remove all the rock and replace with new stuff......

Hmm.. I can relate. Only been into this hobby for 11 months and I've gone from the initital 22g nano, then bought a 12g nano for "overflow" corals and to the current 75g tank that is so full I am using Mag Disk coral frag mounts to allopw myself to use the glass walls as real estate. I have acros pointing into the tank.
I work in addictions, sometimes I look at my tank and think "what the heck is the big deal?" Then look closer and think "wonder if there is room for another, bluer SPS"

Thankfully(?), I am moving into a house in a few months.. I think the addiction will overcome any semblance of self control.
