Monti eating nudibranches - in a nano

Hi all,
I have a nano tank (20g with a 20g sump) with a few pieces of montipora. One piece (my rainbow monti) had a little white spot yesterday. OK...that concerned me but I just let it be. Well, today it has grown a little - immediately I know something is wrong. Later I see a montipora eating nudibranch crawling over it!! >_< I have very little experience with these. I'm doing as much research as I can and most people are saying to just let them die off by going fallow. However, seeing as I have a nano, I think I have a bit of a better chance. My two questions are:

What would you suggest doing, seeing as this is a nano? The frags I have in this tank right now are very small. Right now I am thinking of dipping all pieces in Revive daily or every other day and inspecting for eggs manually. Good plan?

What will these go after? Everything is my guess :( But I want to make sure. I have 2 pieces of encrusting monti, a plating monti, a setosa, and a digi.

Thank you!

IMO Yes.

The Monti Nudis will stop eating when there are no more Montis to eat.In a 20g Reef they(your Monties) wont be hard to find.Remove,Dip,& inspect the Monti's for eggs,& mature Nudis.Good luck,& Happy Thanksgiving.
