For start take a turkey baster or coral target feeder and blow away the cyano off the corals and net it out of the tank.

I already tried the turkey baster on the acro it's on there pretty good.

 

[Star reefer]

I just,tried on the zoa and it worked great.

If you can't blow it off the acro then most likely that acro under is dead. It will not grow on the acro itself but on dead skeleton yes.
Kill the lights for 3 days. Increase flow and net as much you can out. Worse case chemi clean

OK could I like use a qtip to scrape some of the acro or hold it in direct flow for like a second to blow some of.?

 

[Dr. Reef Verified Sponsor]

Yes you can making sure you don't cut or tear or damage the flesh of the coral.

Could I instead of turning lights out for 3 days could i put it in a dark,area of the tank.?

That will only solve (maybe) just one acro. What about the whole tank? If you don't fix the problem and just isolate 1 coral or 2 here and there. Cyano will eventually take over the whole tank.
You need the fix it from the root.

Actually it's only on the rocks and has not afeected any other coral accept the one acro,and the two zoas
