Thank you for the information, I have not seen the slug now in 2 days, and am very concerned for his where-abouts. Is there something I should do with the "ribbon" eggs? Do they ever hatch in captivity that your aware of? If so, how long of a time frame are we looking at?

Thank you again for advice.

Dear Karen,
Sorry, but there is no good news with the eggs. Often eggs layed in stress are infertile. Even if they did hatch out as microscopic free-swimming larvae, it is very difficult to keep them alive in aquaria without the right algae to feed them. And if by some stroke of luck they did survive, they would then only settle out of the water and become small crawling slugs if their correct food sponge was present - so we are back to square 1.
