Hare eggs?

[dizzy]

I just noticed these eggs in one of my tank. I was thinking they looked a little like nudibranch eggs, and they I noticed the sea hare in the area. Does anyone know if that is what these are? If you look carefully you can see the hare in the left portion of the photo.

What genus and species do you have?
If the mass that looks like green spaghetti is what you're asking about, yes it could be but normally the egg mass is larger. They lay a massive number of eggs.

David I believe it is Dolabella auricularia from Bali. Yes I referring to the green/yellowish spaghetti looking mass.

Cool beans. Have they been hatching out for people?

From what I recall spawning and hatchings are common. The problem is feeding the larva.
If you can, try to contact ORA as they were captive breeding A. californica a while back. They are closely related so maybe they have some pointers.
