You don't understand Ceadus are air-breathers they need air and they have no gills. They can't go onto land any longer due to their massive size and they've completely adapted to living in the ocean they have no other alternative than to give birth to live young. Ceadus are like the extremely large and adapted marine reptiles of the past such as Pliosaurus or Ichthyosaurs and if they were to lay their eggs in water the embryos would drown the same would apply for ceadus. Simply put there is no purpose for Ceadus to lay eggs. Also as I've stated the beard would most likely be used for display along with their horns and bioluminescence.
