New plant :) Should I remove the offshoots?

Hi, I was just gifted this cute gasteria. Should I remove those little offshoots to give the mother plant more room? And if yes how do I do that without causing damage?

Instead of trimming it back, how about putting into a larger container? I'd bet that the roots are running out of space.

I agree, the plant looks fairly large compared to the pot. It would probably appreciate a bit more space.

Looks like it's the perfect time to split up the babies.
