Acropora eating nudibranchs?

[Spartanman22]

I have noticed a few very small (size of a large copepod) on a couple acros in my tank. The acros are showing signs of tissue loss. I am not sure if it is the nudis that are doing this or if it is the outbreak of small asterina stars (I've seen both on the damaged acro). Any suggestions on something that might eat these? I was thinking maybe a small six line. It is a nano tank, about 6 gallons, so it'd have to be something small. I have been physically removing all the asterinas and nudis I can find and the acro seems to be doing a little better since.

Here is a link to a picture to what looks similar to what I have.

I've been using revive with somewhat success but not as much as I'd like to see. I have some lugols solution on hand but have never used it before. Is it a good option for dipping SPS coral?

I just tried doing a lugol's dip on all my acros and noticed a larger nudi that was still alive after the dip. Was that just a particularly strong nudi or is lugol's not very good for what I'm trying to do?

I hate to say it but in my experience when it comes to pests like flat worms, AEN, or red bugs the war is rarely won. It only takes one of those suckers hiding deep into your live rock to restart the problem after treatment. Your probably going to have to do a total nuke of your tank. Total nuke = restart :/

I would have to say I respectfully disagree on that. I have dealt with AEFW before as well as some other pest and have never done a complete nuke of my tank. It just takes patience and diligence. But I have read that MEN's can be far more troublesome to deal with than AEFW or red bugs.
