FW dip with lugols, Revive or Coral Rx will take care of the adults and newly hatched nudis. Then you need to look in between the polyps for eggs. They lay their egg clusters in a gelantinous "C" pattern. Those you need to scrape off then dip again. Wear gloves and goggles to protect yourself from their neurotoxin. Zoas and palys are toxic. They secret a very serious neurotoxin when annoyed. Even the smallest amount can make you feel very ill. I experienced it with palys but zoas can do damage too.

I killed them years ago with I very high dose of flat worm exit
Never seen them again

Thanks for all the help guys . So there is no other way to get rid of the eggs besides removeing them manually?

BlueZoo has a nice write up about getting rid of nudibranch too. I think Meleves reef does too. Here's the Bluezoo article - http://www.bluezooaquatics.com/resources.asp?show=15

That's correct. They are well protected under that jelly cover. Scraping them off is the only way. They are not very easy to find.

Here's another great site where you can see what they look like - http://www.zoaid.com/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=415
