I was staring at my tank as usual, checking up on my critters and saw my pom pom crab in her usual spot. She had been really reclusive the past week, and now I see her, and she's holding a bunch of red eggs!!! I don't have any other pom pom crabs in there, so I wonder if she was pregnant when we got her a few weeks ago. Is there anything I can do to help with the eggs in order to actually have some babies live? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I'm no breeding expert, but I'd get it into a small seperate tank and get one of those filters they use for fry tanks, the ones that have like foam on the intake to prevent fry from being sucked up. Congrats on babies, hope they will make it.

The only thing is I don't think I would be able to catch her. She is in a spot on the sand in between two rocks with a rock above her. Her little burrow spot is right there too and when she goes in it you can't even see her. Hmmm...any suggestions on getting her out other than taking all of the live rock apart?

I will definitely have to go and look for one because I want the babies to survive. I can't even see her now, so it may be my only option. Is there any way to know if they are fertilized or not since she is the only one in there?
