The best way would be to get some peppermint shrimp about 4,they should make quick work of them.They eat them.

If they are on one rock, take the rock out and scrape them off the take a butane lighter and burn the spot they were on.

Get a syringe and inject them with vinegar. They will shrivel up and let their foot loose. At that point, most of the time they will die, but I recommend pulling them out of the tank just to make sure since they are easy to pull out once they come loose. During the first round of injection, you should be able to kill at least 90% of them and then the next time, the rest should die, assuming you find and inject them all.

BTW - Vinegar is reef safe so you can add quit a bit into the tank without causing any harm.
