It's just how they grow. If you want a single plant, you can take the little ones off. Just grip and twist.

Just give them a bit more room by doing a re-pot. Then let them grow and make a huge pot of cactus. I love to leave the babies on, but you can take them off and pot them separately. They look really good.

Your cactus are Echinopsis, from the growth habit maybe Echinopsis eyriesii.
