I say to set up another tank and dip and scrape off every egg. If you don't get them all they will just multiply and you will fight this battle till you have nothing left. Best of luck. ( I've been there done that)

A 200g filled to the brim with SPS, you'll never dip and scrap your way out of that. You really need long term predation, and I hear the wrasses are best at this.
Also keep in mind that large colonies can RTN if moved out of their special spot. They get very used to flow and lighting, and are extra sensitive to being moved.

Default stop those carpet surfers
i like firefish and various wrasses in my tank but they have annoying habit of going carpet surfings. Erecting a 4 inch high plexiglass perimeter wall around tank edge seem to have curbed these fishs' suicidal urge.

My wrasses helped in the fight but didn't eliminate them.

You could also try building a top out of bird netting and a aluminum window screen frame if you are worried tha egg crate will obstruct the airflow too much.
