what is the only egg laying male on the planet

sorry don't know any.
By definition if it has ovaries and produces eggs it's female.
Though there are species which undergo sex change during their life which are a kind of sequential hermaphrodites. There are a number of species being sequential or simultaneous hermaphrodites. Still, you'd call the egg producing part female not male and you wouldn't assign a male or female sex to a true hermaphrodite. Environmental conditions/hormones can also (naturally or unnaturally) change and modify sex of an organism.
Anyway, I don't think there is any animal in which males naturally lay eggs which sucessfully can get fertilized to produce offspring. Though I'd always be happy to learn...

There is a Lizard that can not only lay eggs but fertilize them as well. Think it is the Dragon Lizard. Just happened in Chester Zoo. This Lizard has both sets of reproductive organs.

Male crickets lay eggs, however they cannot be fertilized and are therefore no use except maybe for food!

Sea horse males don't actually lay the eggs, so I don't know.

Sea horse (Hippocampus erectus).Any of about 24 species (family Syngnathidae) of fishes that usually live along warm seashores, clinging to plants with their forward-curled, prehensile tail. Species range from 1.5 to 12 in. (4–30 cm) long. Sea horses have bony rings instead of scales, and their eyes can move independently. They swim upright, propelling themselves horizontally with their fins and vertically with their swim bladder. They catch small organisms by sucking them quickly into their small mouths. The female deposits her eggs into a brood pouch beneath the male's tail, and the male expels the newly hatched young.

the finest is the White Cloud. They breed like loopy, do not require a tremendous type of warmth and do not devour their youthful. sure they get alongside with anybody, besides the undeniable fact that the livebearers will devour the more youthful.
