Ya those are zoa eating nudis. The eggs won't be killed by dipping so you need to manually scrape them off before dipping with coral Rx or another strong dip. It's best to shake the polyps around in the dip or blast with a turkey baster to knock the stunned nudis off the frag and into the dip container.
 
Looks like them to me.

Yep. Decide to frag the zoa and do a clean it. Does the egg is kind of spiral thing?

Ya a small little spiral sometimes it'll be just one little line with a bit missing like a broken circle. They can be hard to see but you got the right idea if you're already fragging it you'll be able to see the eggs easier.
 
They're actually really really cool. If an infestation goes unnoticed long enough and you get a bunch hatching it looks like living crawling glitter - and they do take up the pigment of what they're eating!

@keagan hit all the salient points.

I'll only add that they are very easy to knock out provided you can dip. If you do a series of 3 dips across 7-8 days you can stamp all egg spirals/anything that could even lay eggs. Basically full Thanos them.
