Im not worried about the toxin as much as I want to be sure i can get rid of them. Scraping them off will be ok as I will do that in a plastic tub under water. If i cant get every last piece off the rock do they spread like aptasia?

Can you take the duncans off and swap the rock out? That's a for sure way to be rid of them. If it's a rock you want to keep, what about letting it bake in the sun for a while?

I was reading one of the papers Timfish linked and found this:

"It is heat-stable, not inactivated by boiling, and is stable in neutral aqueous solutions for prolonged periods, however a rapid decomposition occurs under acid or alkaline conditions, leading to loss of its toxicity"
