So I just got a nudibranch slug had him for two days and she suddenly laid a **** load of eggs. I know they have both sex organs but will these hatch??? I'm on a lame I pad so I can't get pics up that I just took
 
Sweet it's a 65 gallon tank 20 gallon refugium all param next to perfect. She laid the right on glass in front I'll try to grab computer and post pics
 
Posted them on Facebook name is Chris the fish devito. How long do they take to hatch?
 
Slug died today... Can't find any info on them. Do they die after laying eggs?
 
Nudis generally only live around 1 year. too bad about the parent. the eggs likely will hatch assuming they are not eaten but I doubt the babies will survive. for a few weeks they will be planktonic larva incapable of defending themselves form dangers like filters or filter feeders. also, they need plenty of food that must be practically microscopic in size

This is also correct, its possible you will get MAYBE one or two surviving... but even that is unlikely. I've has some survive to about a 1/4inch long before... but that was in a filterless tank, with minimal inhabitants.
 
Dam so that sucks thanks for ur input
