The look like iron staining (rust). Did anything fall into the pool and sit there? Or perhaps there is a little piece of metal embedded in the finish. Or perhaps there is a piece of rebar from the structure up near the surface.
You could try putting some vitamin C tablets on them. They should fade very quickly ... then see if they come back.

Nothing fell in or stayed there. I am very on top of the care of this pool. I don’t believe it’s rebar either. When I get real close to it it looks like two of the pebbles are embedded in the finish and they are browning so possible metal got in the mix. Where do buy vitamin c tablets for a pool?
Lol oh ok. So just place the tablets on top of the spots? How long do I leave them there or will they dissolve?
You could rub them or let them sit. Stain should disappear within a few minutes, possibly instantly (it is kind of cool 
)

No problem. I have a couple of similar spots. Most disappeared instantly. (I think a hair tie got left in the pool) 1 is more stubborn and I hit it with a tablet every year or so. (perhaps this one is embedded).
I have a few similar spots in my pool as well and I rubbed them with a chlorine tab pretty aggressively and they came out.
Pool is only a few months old and noticed the first one right after I filled it and was freaking out to say the least. Turns out there is a tree about 50 yds away that has
little seed pod thingies that get blown in or dropped in by birds. The spots look almost exactly like a rust spot.

Organic [matter] spots will be removed w high dozes of Chlorine or CL tabs
Rust or ferric oxide will be removed by Vit-C tablets. It's the low dose ascorbic acid in the tablets that neutralizes the oxidized metal that has rusted...
