They look like berghia but trust me they're not!
One time I saw one in the lfs's frag tank.. and I watched a zoa get eaten infront of me..

I got rid of mine by just siphoning them out one by one. IME the best time to spot them was as soon as the lights came on in the morning.
Btw, if they're not eating your zoanthids, they might be eating your montiporas. (if you have any)

IF you can freshwater dip the coral then you'll have more luck getting rid of them. You may need multiple dips over a few days as the eggs aren't killed until they hatch and this can take a few days.
If it is zoas they are eating then turn your blues on a few hours after they have gone off. The nudi's will be out munching and tend to glow from the pigment they eat from the zoas making their cirri bright.
Another good thing if you want a natural predator and have the space is one of the smaller halichoeres wrasse.

Been using the Julian's Thing to get the little suckers out. Best $25 I've ever spent on a piece of reef gear, IMHO!
