Lettuce Nudi Eggs!

[FishboyBT]

My lettuce nudi laid eggs and it is the only one in the tank, do they need to be fertilized or will they hatch?

They need to be fertilized. If the slug is fairly new then they may have been fertilized before you got it. Otherwise they won't hatch and may in fact be a bad sign. Lots of sea slugs instinctively start putting effort into reproduction when times get tough for them. It's sort of a last ditch attempt to spread their genes before they die and they don't seem to realize the eggs have no chance of surviving.
