Never would have believed it if I didn't see it myself but Lemon Juice works wonders. Go buy a meat injecting syringe, cut the end off of it (this is important cause the end makes the juice come out the sides). Put about a tablespoon in the syringe and put it right up next to the offending things mouth and squirt! it might take two applications, but believe me it will die and not come back! And the best part is it wont hurt anything in your tank..
But you might want to give your Pepermint a chance.. I had one about 3 inhes tall, put a pepermint in the tank and it was ALL gone within 3 days.
Someone correct me if I am wrong, Last I heard is nudibranch's also eat some corals so you wouldn't want to put that in your tank.
