Looks to be a small ulcer - Or maybe a scrape from darting into the rockwork, doesn’t seem to be fatal and a few doses of melafix should fix it up.

Do I have to pull the fish out to use it?

If it’s a reef tank with SPS then yes, if there is no SPS then no, however after use it will be Atleast 3 water changes before harder SPS (Not montis) are able to go back in.

It’s an LPS tank, hammers, frogspawn, micromussa lord, zoa plus anemone and inverts

Appears to be post injury and most fish have the ability to heal and quickly in saltwater. Keep an eye on it
