Velvet Nudibranches for everyone?

I'm tripping out. I got these velvet nudibranches and instead of letting them roam the tank, I put them in a specimen container I have full of hair algae, pods, it's pretty nasty. After my lights went out, I saw what looked like fumes being emitted by both of them. Then a couple of minutes later, it looked like they were wrapped in a cacoon. Now I have two egg sacs. After laying them they are still going at it. Now how can I raise them? Anyone want to donate flat worms to feed these guys? I am thinking of setting up a separate tank with flat worms, then adding some to the nudibranch tank so they don't wipe out all of them, but they might not reproduce as fast as the nudibranches eat them.

Here's a link from the sea slug forum with a better pic of a nudibranch laying eggs.
