Looks like to me If I'm looking in the right spot between the light rock & dark rock.

Yep that's the spot.. the one coral I didn't dip lol. What would be the best way to remove them?

Carefully. I use Aiptasia-x. But others are having really good luck with F-Aiptasia

I've heard that both work, I haven't had to use so far, the few times I've had them I've been able to take the rock out & remove it.

Edit" If you can take the rock out of the tank then you could just scrape it off, I used a steel wire brush to make sure I got all of it. One was actually on a piece of rock with a coral on it but not close enough to harm it & it only took a minute or 2 to remove it. Coral is doing fine.

There are a wide variety of remedies including live animals, invertebrates, DIY solutions, and a variety of branded products. Personally, I would recommend F-Aiptasia Killer from @Frank's Tanks because it works...every time.

I could pop the frag off the rock and reglue it. Would that work ?

Yes Make sure you rinse the rock in RO/DI or a little water from the tank before you put it back in the tank after your done.
