Zoanthid eating nudi's: Questions about treating a whole tank with FWE

I notice I have these in my 75g reef tank. I have a leopard wrasse but am wondering what would be the best/safest method to eradicate the nudi's from my mixed reef tank. I have lugols, flatworm exit, and I have read about fresh water dips. I have some zoanthids on small rocks that I can remove and dip but I also have some on the sides of my tank, overflow box, and larger rocks which are not easily removeable. What is the best method to dose my tank to kill the nudi's on the rocks and zoan's I cant dip outside of the tank?
Is it safe to treat an SPS dominated reef with FWE?
 
I heard flat worm exit works, I have used it successfully for flat worms. Dont know about the Leopard but I used to keep an emerald green coris (like) wrasse and never had anymore nudies.
 
I have had great success with both the yellow coris wrasse (eats zoa nudis and zoa spiders) and green coris wrasse (eats zoa nudis and IME outperformed my seagrass wrasse in this area). I was so pleased with their performance in the past, that when I set up my 29gal BioCube 2 months ago, I bought both a yellow and a green for "insurance" against zoa pests and the fish get along with each other very well. They also both get along with my radiant wrasse which is in the tank with them. HTH.
