Simple question:
Can a Seaweed Siren cast 3 charm monster spells, 3 confusion spells and 3 tongues spells per day, OR can they cast either charm monster, confusion or tongues, 3 times per day?
One lets it cast 9 SLAs, the other lets it cast 3. Which holds true? Citation appreciated :)

Everyone of them can be cast three times, for a total of 9.
If it were like sorcerer spells, there would be creatures that have multiple lines starting with 3/day or 1/day, but they don't. And the line "at will" wouldn't make much sense ate all.
I get the at-will SLAs can be cast forever and ever, but Sorcs have nearly the same setup for their spells as monster SLAs.
For them it just says "1st level (5/day) spell, spell, spell"
Where SLAs are divided into categories based on the amount of times per day they can be cast, rather than the level of the spells they emulate.
So a monster could have "at will - fireball" and "1/day magic missile, shield" if the monster was designed that way.
But I haven't been able to find a rule stating that they can cast every single one of these spells x/day, rather than just having x castings of that particular category of SLAs.
It's not that I don't believe you, I just want to see the rule.

As you wrote notation between spontaneous spells and spell-like abilities is different.
While not explicit abstract rule, there is an example showing use of notation "1/day—dancing lights, darkness, faerie fire" as meaning "one use of each of the listed spell-like abilities:
Drow
Stat block contains "1/day—dancing lights, darkness, faerie fire" and racial descriptions contains "Spell-Like Abilities: A drow can cast dancing lights, darkness, and faerie fire each once per day, using his total character level as his caster level."
Ah! That is wonderful!
Thanks alot Drejk, that is all I need to base a decision on :D
If there was an explicit rule stating it, that would have been preferable, but the Drow example works fine.
Thanks alot.
