SPS Nudibrach???
I found what looks like the Zoa eating nudi on a digitata, they had eggs layed and were bleaching the coral.
What do I have and HOW do I deal with it?

You mean like the Montipora nudibranch?
Here's my experience, they're a huge pain [and terribly destructive] http://reefcentral.com/forums/showth...50#post7328050 http://reefcentral.com/forums/showth...72#post7335772 Another, too http://reefcentral.com/forums/showth...hreadid=844250 Personally, iodine dips and vigilant inspection/egg removal seemed to work well. As I got mine from someone who swears that natural predators [like wrasses] are 100% effective - I'd only consider some sort of natural predators if you'll never give a frag away. [nevermind quite a few reports of zero success with wrasses/etc] QT is vital for SPS these days [monti nudis, acro red bugs, acro-eating flatworms ... only more to come  ]. I'd get into the practice, and read what you can about pests before buying pieces.
