Looks to be. Is that a montipora it’s on.
Even if u dipped, the dip would not kill any eggs. Would have to do a visual inspection w magnification then scraping or brush and plug remount covering the base w a gel based glue.
Yellow Coris wrasse or a halichores species

Always, I use Red Sea dipx. I only hAve a fire fish.
There are many nudibranches and each only eat one specific thing. If you found it on a monti it probably a a monti eating nudi. Any natural predator at best is going to keep them in check.
Research potassium permanganate as a dip. It is very stressful to the coral but has been shown to kill the eggs at proper dosage. I tested it for the first time tonight on a trade someone brought to me that I had in a QT and found it had them so I hope to have firsthand knowledge of how successful it is soon.

I believe it was a superman montipora digitata. What predators keep stuff like this in check?
I agree with @HudsonReefer2.0 in regards to the wrasses being a good bet(but no guarantee and unlikely to completely iradicate an established population). I have seen reports that hermit crabs eat the eggs. Quite a few years ago I tried it with a variety of crabs and had zero success so at least in my experience that did not work but I mention in case you want to research it.

Melanurus may but most wrasses which eat flatworms yes likely wont go after nudi's. especially since they are active at night.
You will have to dip or siphon with a 3/8" tube as you see them. The bigger obstacle you will face is eggs which are often well hidden and very tiny. They will have to scraped off outside the tank as dip has No effect on eggs. Coral RX does a good job on them
