Hey bang! Are you shure they are eggs, and if so should i qt them with the purple nudibranch in order to keep the eggs alive?

100% they are eggs and 100% you won't be able to keep the larvae. They have a long larval period and I couldn't begin to guess what the larvae feed on. Probably some fertilized sponge egg or something similarly exotic.

I just got my first purple nudibranch yesterday, and this morning it laid a similar whitish ribbon attached to a rock. I am assuming it is an egg deposit, but now it is stationary in the corner emitting a white creamy substance. Is this Sperm?
