PIcked up this frag a few months ago from a local show. I've cleaned it a few times with peroxide and killed the aiptasia with X but it all keeps coming back. It's just this frag that has a really bad problem. Are these zoas worth saving? I was thinking of just getting rid of it.

If you are successfully keeping zoas, you'll have to learn how to frag them eventually anyway. This will be good practice. Definitely do your research first though. Also, those look like palys to me.

Gloves, eye protection, mask. Take that frag out of the water and remount those guys on a new plug. A sharp, clean exacto knife should do the trick.
