Sea hare eggs is it safe?
[IMG][/IMG]
If i zoom in there are billions of eggs inside. I am hesitating to kill it but wonder what will happen when these hatch and start wondering around? |

That's cool. Never heard of sea hare's laying eggs in captivity.

I am not much help, but I found this through a quick google search. Not really that informative.. just google Sea Hare eggs and a few links pop up.

cool, looks like gross spaghetti.
well one of two things could happen. a) You could indeed get a bunch of mini slugs crawling around until they likely starve as they eat themselves out of a food supply, or b) the eggs will hatch out into planktonic veligers and be filtered or eaten by other tankmates. either way I doubt they'd survive to adulthood. that said, if it were me, I would just leave it there. |

We had the same thing in our tank. They never amounted to anything. The egg mass just broke down little by little over a few weeks and disappeared in the system. I think they end up as food for whoever. They never hurt anything; no nitrate spikes or anything like that either, (no little baby hares either).

Mine did that many, many times. No harm ever came of it. Some fish did eventually figure out that they were edible. They never hatched.

do you have another sea hare in there? eggs might not even be fertilized (if so they'll never hatch)
