They are happily eating, (two of them), on the polyps I left in there, the two others have been staying together for awhile but not spawning nor eating with the others

One thing I have been noticing a lot is that they tend to just get to the top of the water (and I mean LITERALLY the top) and just hang there (also seen in pic one)

I possibly might have two holding eggs, two of them were sticking close together earlier for around an hour and a half and at the tail end of both of them, there are these white dots... Sorry for the lack of pics, I am currently trying to find my macrolens to take some

Do you have any more photos of these guys?  I ask, because they don't look like the species, at least according to http://www.seaslugforum.net/aeolharr.htm
