I added a lettuce nudi.. But these seem large! Maybe an inch or more across. I've got big turbos as well.. But don't they spawn ? I see stomatella and astria snails spawn a lot.. Si assumed turbos did the same?

Woohoo! Will they just hatch and get busy? Or if I only have a single in there are they duds? I can already picture a ravenous army of lettuce nudi ridding the seahorse tank of all this algae! Would be a lifesaver! It's a jungle in there lately :/

****.. I'm sure I have bristles in there. Hopefully a few make it, it was laid at the top of waterline almost , on a synthetic sponge coral. I'll hafta start hunting the worms before they hatch I guess .

I actually just found the Mama in my sump lol thought she'd died .. Again! She's gone thru the system plumbing twice now .. So I'm just gonna leave her there till the DT needs her again. Since I only have one.. Can she lay viable eggs again?? Like some critters can self fertilize with stored 'product' ? Lol ewww... Or did I just get lucky having her come in locked and loaded? Just curious :)

Good question. You had one lettuce nudi and it layed eggs? I'd bet she won't get eggs again unless sime male babies mature. Awesome, you are breeding lettuce nudis!

Maybe I'll go buy another adult just to stack the deck.. I never expected the eggs would get much past the hatch lol but the upside of a species tank is its an incubator with few predators .. Have a couple gobies w the seahorses and pipes .. But all eat mysis, except for one dragon face pipe :)

Well. In nearly 3 weeks the teensy little dudes have grown to almost adult size! It's amazing how fast they grow! Here is one of the first babies I found w Mama for reference :)

Finding more egg coils in sump as well..
