After not having seen my Pom Pom Crab in a few months I saw her today on the inside of one of my rocks. She had a large amount of eggs underneath her stomach. Has anyone had any success in aquaculturing these? I don't think I have two in my tank. I had one for about a year and a half that I thought died. Could have been a molt. If I do have two then I guess they are successfully spawning. My Cleaner Shrimp spawn nightly and I have a large amount of Cleaner Shrimp babies that live in a corner of my tank. I don't think they will make it to adulthood but I do see them swimming around down there throughout the day. I'm wondering if Pom Poms will be like this. Anyone have any info?
 
I also have 2 pom pom crabs... no clue if they are male or female. They both have eggs underneeth them sometimes. I always just assumed it would be coral food...lol If you have any luck let me know what you did.
