I would just leave it alone, nothing to worry about. It looks like closed polyps to me, but even if they are dying, shouldn't be a cause for concern. But if it starts spreading to more polyps then maybe you might want to look into it.

I'm not sure if I'm doing the right thing, but if I have dead polyps tt are an eye sore to me, I just pluck them out, so far nothing happened to mother colony or the like.

Nice colony you have there!

the polyps look like they are mushy. radioactive and eagle eyes are greyish-white when closed. they will likely melt off given time, but you can remove it if its bothering you. wont spread if the other polyps are healthy and have good flow around.
