Dips don't kill the eggs. Every piece should be very closely inspected for eggs, and the eggs need to be scraped off. All new corals should be quarantined, but any corals found with eggs need be quarantined and dipped several times over a few weeks at least. AEFW is a reef's worst nightmare - they are terrible critters and take so much time and effort to eliminate. A worm-aggressive Wrasse is a good idea especially Halichoeres spp. although they will usually eat ornamental shrimps and crabs as well. So there are drawbacks to that option.
