So does that mean that mine, which no longer give the appearance of a green mouth, are no longer RPE's?

Yes.

But I never exceed 8 and I get great growth, so who knows. My RPE's went from 6 polyps to 12 in 5 weeks, and that is not unusual for my tank.

I would still say yes, but other things matter...

There is no need to tear down your tank. There is no need for a FW dip. IMO all of that will cause more stress than the nudis.
