I'm pretty sure he did freshwater dips... I looked for the thread but I couldn't find it...
Sorry I can't help you more!

The little guy with the orange legs is the nudibranch that I caught
You should fresh water dip all of your zoas and possibly an iodine dip as well. When you dip them, if you see any more nudis or their eggs just pick them off. It'll probably take you a while to get all the eggs.

You want to dip them for about 5 minutes. Use RODI water if you can, but if you only have tap available, you can use that too -- just be sure to use a water conditioner. Warm up the water to your tank's temperature and use a buffer to bring the pH up to match your tank's pH. Once it's in the water, you can use a turkey baster to gently blow off anything nasty that you see. The corals will close up -- and will probably stay closed for the next day or two.

That's most likely how it got in there. If it was like mine then they have only been known to eat zoas but, our knowledge on ocean pests in fairly limited, there's a chance it may eat another type of coral.

keep an eye on your frags chances are if theres one theres more. Also look for eggs and do another dip in a few days
