Has anyone had to deal with these pests before?

If you look really close in the pics you can see them. They are extremely small. I was was wondering why alot of the time my zoas were closed for no apparent reason
 
Do iodine dips and pick off all the nudis/egg sacs you can see. Be vigilant about it and you'll get them all. :)

That seems like it would be the most effective way to get ride of them, I was hoping to not have to take them out of the tank... Is there any creature that eats them?
 
Someone told me that yellow coras wrasse might eat them, also I started sucking them out of the tank with a small tube... its kinda fun haha. have a bucket with about 30 of those jokers in there

Sounds tedious! good luck. You probably don't want to mess with the wrasse though, getting a certain fish to do what you want never works out. They need bigger tanks too, pretty fish though. Awesome pest pics, you must have a pretty decent camera.
 
Thanks, Its actually my phone the Galaxy Note 2. This morning I went looking through my reef and have yet to find anymore of the lil buggas
