Sea hare egg care?

First time posting on a forum...
3 days ago i purchased a blue spotted sea hare, and yesterday after i came home from work i noticed what looked like "a piece of spaghetti" on one of my live rocks. My research online (and a stop at the place i bought it from) has concluded that they are sea hare eggs, unfortunatly i have not been able to find any information on the care of the young, if it differs at all from that of the parent, any info would be helpful.

I think the issue with breeding sea hares (is yours a Dolabella?) is that the larvae hatch and spend some time as basically plankton, feeding them at this stage is difficult and they have a habit of being obliterated in the various filters and powerheads we use in our tanks.
If you google the "Sea Slug Forum" you may find more info.
Hope that helps :) Welcome to the boards!! :)

Ours is a Bursatella leachii, i attempted to write the sea slug forum and they arent responding to any new questions until feb. alot of the questions (and answers) have been quite vague, any thoughts as far as a food source for the hatchlings? thanks for the response and warm welcome!
