They take 24-48 hours to hatch. Unless you have extremely poor filtration, they will have been removed before they get a chance to hatch. A seahorse or other slow feeder will not get much out of that setup.

The eggs have hard shells that can actually choke tiny fish (fry), and I suspect they are not very digestible. Although fish may eat them they are not going to get nutrition from them.

But yes, you could add them to the sump and maybe get some value out of it, for extremely low effort. But hatching them in a 2L soda bottle hatchery is much better.
