Need Help with Removing Polyp Eating Nudibranch

Hi everyone. I have brown aeolid nudibranchs in my tank. They have already eaten 4 clusters and are working on a fifth and six clusters at the moment. I can't remove the cluster of polyps as they have been permanently glued/placed down long ago. I removed the one decent size nudibranch manually with tweezers and it wasn't even near the polyps that it was eating the night before. I've been monitoring the tank since I saw the Nudibranch I removed and I've noticed baby nudis all over the polyps in question. To make matters harder I have clams, sps corals, xenia and so on. I know that Nudis have a selective diet and probably won't touch anything else other then the polyps. The problem is I have about 9 clusters of polyps/zoos left. I'm looking for a natural predator that will eat baby nudibranch as I will remove any larger ones manually; I'm basically trying or looking for a way to break the cycle with predators that will eat small nudis, but not the other members in my tank. Any advice or information would be greatly appreciated.

Look into doing a quick freshwater dip. That might help. There may be differing opinions, though so wait for more replies (or do a search). :)
