Question. If I place the rock in the sump without light will all these corals shrink and just go away? Or is some more extreme measures needed like blow torches and full on assault.

Unfortunately, blow torches and full on assaults would be the answer. I would personally kill the rock completely by actually boiling it or something and then soak it in RO water for a few weeks with water changes to get everything out, then re-introduce it back into your tank and it'll re seed itself.
