I was looking in my tank today and noticed a set of my zoas were closed. I found this on them, it didnt seem to be eating or hurting them. What is it some sort of NUDI, it looks awesome

From what I remember they eat polips

Crapo, I found them in that hitchhikers guide. I was just hoping my eyes were fooling me. How on earth did I get them I dipped everything.
 
Will coral rx kill the eggs that are on the zoas? I guess there are some on there at this ponit?

Beat me to the question with the answer, how do I kill the eggs then?
 
what are the habits of these creatures, do they mainly hang around the zoas? Do they eat other things? Do they hide in the rocks too? If there were no zoas in the tank could they survive?

That is very generous of yous guys but I've made a rule after the disease outbreak I had last year. No new fish untill I get my UV up and running for at least a month. If I had it going I would do it but I can't do it right now out of fear that it would get sick and perish. I havent added any fish since I lost so many. All I need is a bulb now so I am almost there. I may break down and order the bulb since I got the sleeve and O ring kit yesterday.
 
I recently helped a friend clear his tank of nudis. We took every zoa out one by one for inspection of both nudis and eggs. The nudibrach you can pick off with a tweezers, the eggs you must scrape off with a knife or something with a very fine edge. We did this until no eggs or nudibrach were present. He also got himself a yellow corris wrasse that seemed to be hit or miss on eating nudis. If you can find a sea grass wrasse get one, they are as far as I know the only proven nudis eater. I believe LiveAquaria has them in stock.
