Opisthobranch Nudibranch (sea slug) Eggs - 2/17/03
My Lettuce slug left this on the glass.. Do they look like eggs?
<They are indeed conspicuous sea slug eggs. A delightful event to see. Kudos, Anthony>

Green Slug
Hi Bob,
thanks for your info on the Fingerfish. I got a Green Sea Slug (Elysia) last week. It is doing fine. Yesterday, it started to lay eggs in a spiral pattern. Are those eggs? 
<Yes>
Will they hatch? 
<Perhaps.>
Will they live? 
<What will they eat? What is the species life cycle, developmental history? Insert the name in your search engines and find out. Bob Fenner>
Thanks.

Lettuce Nudibranch or Elysia Crispata Eggs  - 1/18/07
<Hey Michelle, JustinN with you today.>
  I just bought one of these magnificent creatures last week and it has laid an egg strip in my tank.  How long does it take before the eggs hatch and should I turn off my protein skimmer and cover the bottom of my filter so that the larvae don't get sucked up?  Any info at this point would help.
  Thank You
  Michelle Worley, Ohio
<I'm sorry, Michelle, but I can't seem to find any solid information on the gestation period of Elysia crispata eggs. Shutting off your protein skimmer will likely increase the chances of survival here. Good luck! -JustinN>
