its difficult to find natural predatirs on these toxic little slugs... at least ones that are reef safe and wont eat other desirable things in your reef. For many, manual control and prevention (quarantine) are your best solutions. If the pests pass through QT accidentally, it may still be worth pulling infected specimens back to QT for manual control and let the display run fallow of suitable prey (your infected coral) for some months (while the coral is in QT/quarantine)
