I have some BTC on Coinbase (since summer). If I pull my BTC off Coinbase and put it on my Ledger Nano will all the forked coins all show up at once?

Hi redwood419 !
I am sorry but unfortunately not. You would had to hold them on your Ledger during the exact time when the Fork did happen. But I think Coinbase should have given you your BCash at least and they should show up on your Coinbase account as well if you have not sold or transfered them yet.
Thanks. Makes sense! Yes...Bcash in in there. I guess if they choose to support some of the forks in the future I will get them. But it's up to Coinbase I guess since they have the private keys. Is this correct?
Well if you leave them on Coinbase then yes Coinbase is holding your private keys and controlling your Bitcoin.
But if you creat your own wallet and move them to your own wallet like https://greenaddress.it/ as an example, you get your private key during the wallet creation process and then you can definitely get all your upcoming Bitcoin Forks in the future.
