I’ve seen people post that they’ve tried hydrogen peroxide on frags, but I don’t have experience with H2O2 and hydroids.
I’d pop the frag off the plug away from the tank and toss the plug, then manually remove any remaining on the frag - hopefully none, gently brush and rinse the non-fleshy parts that had hydroids over a sink, and then, if being extra cautious, put the frag in a QT tank for observation for a few weeks. And also replace the egg crate if any grew onto there.
Wetwebmedia has some information on hydroids that may help.
