Does anyone have experience with these? I broke my alveopora in half trying to scrape the eggs off before dipping in hydroplex.

I don’t have a quarantine setup yet. But it’s on my bucket list

I found another thread and it looks like a nudibranch… now I have to figure out how to treat it. It’s my first parasite
