Thanks for your reply. I also received the following reply from another person that you might also be interested in from a P.M. Johnson at the University of Washington:

The pacific coast sea hare Aplysia californica can lay about 86 million eggs in a single egg mass. I found the info in Thomas Carefoot's 1987 review article "Aplysia: it's biology and ecology" in Oceanography and Marine Biology Annual Review.
