I'm scared for you too Rye :x
Oh oh! Wait! I was reading more and found that they have planktonic larvae (meaning that it spreads throughout your tank and will be eaten, filtered or otherwise disintegrated!!!) Hell, it's free coral/fish food Rye! You're in like sin
Hope like hell that those two *do* lay eggs!

Dear Tracey,
I am afraid your 'Leather Finger Coral' is what Tritoniopsis elegans eats, and is probably how they came to be in your aquarium - on the soft coral when they were minute juveniles.
About what you should do with them. It really depends how easy it is to replace the Soft Coral. I am biased, but if the Soft Coral was not that difficult to replace, I would suggest keeping a couple of the nudibranchs in your aquarium. I suspect they have planktonic larvae, which would be most unlikely to survive in your tank, so I doubt if there egg-laying would mean that you will end up with unmanageable numbers.
Other than keeping one or two, your only other alternative is to kill them all. If you live near the sea, PLEASE DON'T release them into your local waters. It may seem a kind thing to do, but if they survive, they could cause a major environmental problem.
