Zoas not opening

Well, I wish it was just spaghetti worms or vermetid snails. Things hadn't really changed today but one of my Zola colonies got knocked on its side. Since my arm was in the water holding it anyway I decided to put it in a bowl and look it over. At first, using tweezers, I was just pulling out tiny things that I really couldn't identify. But then something just looked off about the edge. Lo and behold...

A nice big, compared to the others I pulled, nudibranch. I then looked at the cup I had been dropping everything else in and there were bunches of tiny babies. So it looks like I'll have to dip them all first thing in the morning. I'd do it now but my knee has locked up enough to trip me a few times already.
After the dip tomorrow, how should I progress? Will the dip kill the eggs or am I going to have to do multiple dips over time? And if my other corals are doing fine, do I dip them or not? Thanks for any help.

I would dip and dip the whole rock that the colony was on. The Dip Does Not Kill The Eggs So You Might Have To Dip Multiple Times To Kill ALl The Babies.
