I don't know if it's possible for you but a freshwater (same temperature as tank temperature) dip for 3 minutes will kill the nudibranches (and any other inverts) but will not harm the zoas. But if the zoas are on large pieces of rock then you will not be able to do that as you'd destroy too much of the beneficial bacteria and creatures in it. The freshwater dip will only kill hatched nudibranches. Any eggs may still survive.
Good luck.

I had a nudi problem in my 20 gal frag tank, I tried freshwater dips but found it stressfull on the frags. After that I just used airline tube and syphoned them out manually, mostly zoa frags so I would suck em off in the morning before they opened up. After about a week there were none to be found.

You can suck them off. or 5-10 minutes of freshwater dip will kill the nudibranches. If you can adjust the pH of freshwater zoas won't get stressed out that much. If you shake the rock well the dead ones will drop from the rock. Also you should scrape the egg sacs othervise even if you kill nudies eggs will hatch.Freshwater dip don't kill the eggs. I haven't heard any other working ways to fight with nudibranch.

have you tried manual removal yet? i always suggest doing a "natural" method before resorting to some nasty chemical in a bottle.
as was suggested, why not do a brief freshwater dip, shake the zoos to get rid of the dead and scrape off the eggs (little white donut shaped things)? repeat the process every few days for a few weeks.
