Pom Pom crab carrying eggs?

[JulesH]

Hi,

I just wanted to share the images on my Pom Pom crab and what looks like a stash of eggs underneath her shell. I have two Pom Pom crabs, however I have only seen one at a time making me think one had died? Then earlier in the year both crabs were embracing in the front of my tank

This is one of reasons I love this hobby as its full of surprises!

Sorry about the state of the imagery!

Marine ecosystems are full of life. I enjoyed watching peppermint shrimp carry their blue/green eggs externally and then when they eat flake food of different colors, you can see the different colored food going thru the digestive track.
