    I am going to go with sea hare eggs. They are not fish eggs and they have a type pattern similar to nudibranch eggs.

    Im confused on what you are saying, are you saying its nudibranch eggs, or sea hair eggs, or its one of them two. If its nudibranch eggs i better get them out, i did buy a new coral yesterday and i noticed a little bug about half a cm long and it was a grayish color, im wondering if that is a nudibranch.. BTW my sea hair is not moving like it was when i put him in thier yesterday....:confused:

    Nudibranchs/Sea slugs lay a very similar type of pattern and type of egg. Sea hares are basically large sea slugs.

    Fish like clowns lay eggs on a surface not a mass type formation.

    They do not look like any snails eggs I recognize but that remains a possibility.


    If you got this sea hare to eat green hair algae you will need to supplement it's diet with other algaes for it to survive, algae waffers are good.

    Does that clear up my pervious post some? :)

    No idea if they will even hatch.

    I doubt they are any other tank inhabitants eggs. I have noticed that when some inverts are introduced to a different tank or are under going some type of stress they will lay eggs, spawn or split, self preservation I suppose.

    OO ok yea that makes sense because he was just put in the tank yesterday, all though he seems happy he is eating a bunch(which i like) and is wondering around, but i hope one or two hatch i would think that would be a neat thing to see. Any idea on how long it usually takes, i read they turn brown before they hatch.
