Hi
I have a couple of Pom Pom crabs in my tank. I dont see much of them. However I did notice the other day one of the crabs had a red blob of material underneath it. On further investigation I have come to the conclusion they are eggs.
These are my only crabs, I have a multitude of snails and only three fish, a pair of Mandarins and a Diamond Goby. Has anybody else had any experience with these animals in this situation. Do the eggs hatch and there will be lots of little crabs, is there a release of a nekton/ planktonic organisms, or will they all get sucked up by my filtration?
