Lettuce Nudibranch Eggs

I was surprised to see these spiral-shaped egg masses in my tank. I was even more surprised to realize that it was the lettuce nudibranchs I recently received from FL. I just wanted to share.

These will hatch in about 1-2 weeks in my expierence at which time your tank will be literally flooded with baby lettuce sea slugs. If you want to raise them I would suggest a small tank covered in algae with light and minimal flow (as babies they get blown around pretty easily or even sucked into sponge filters. Other than the flow issue and proper lighting, these guys are fairly easy to raise.
