I hate to hijack the thread, but its been mentioned.

What will kill Monti-eating Nudis?

Dip infested coral in Lugols (hit or miss too I hear), Yellow Coriss Wrasse (hit or miss again), and manual removal, as far as I know at least. There may be more options, but I haven't really looked super hard at these beyond QT measures.

I found this article useful awhile back too;
