White monti eating Nudibranch? ID help please

Just confirming if what I feel is accurate.

Found these little monster munching on my monti caps, electric lemonade anacropora, and well as a green pectinia coral.

I feel they are monti eating nudibranches but due to its spread of corals want to confirm. Thanks!

Yes- looks like it and you can siphon as you see them or dip (which can cause coral stress)
Big challenge you will have is , with this many- you likely have eggs in the tank which are really tiny and need to be scraped off outside of tank as you find them. Dip does nothing to the eggs

Wonderful I figured they would be a pain... thankfully all 3 affected corals are relatively isolated. I took some frags from the unaffected tissue and canned the rest. Hopefully they were contained to those few pieces.

Sounds like I need to up my quarantine schedule a couple more weeks to get through a few more life cycles
