TMCC is good. If you have access to Revive, it is better than nothing, but I am not familiar with the success rate for that product...

Revive works great and it is much less harmful to the coral than other dips. It will kill nudis, redbugs and even AEFW within minutes without causing any discoloration or undue stress. I have accidently left acros in it for over an hour with no ill effects, try that with iodine.

Keep in mind that it will not kill the eggs (from what I've read) and a follow up quarantine with additional dips in the future will be necessary in order to eradicate the pest. Often (again I read) the nudis may lay their eggs near the coral and if you just put the coral back in the tank, you supply the food for the circle of life once again

Revive or any other dip for that matter, doesn't work on the eggs as Hop noted. I use a magnifying glass to check the coral thoroughly and a small dental scraper to remove any egg cases. Multiple dips over a few weeks period will help ensure total erradication. This is where Revive really helps because it doesn't stress the coral as much. You can dip every few days with no worries.
