Pregnant Pom Pom Crab

[brisco15]

So I have 2 of these guys in my smaller reef tank no fish inverts and corals only. Saw them doing the vertical mambo a few weeks ago and today it's carrying a ton off eggs, any suggestions on successfully having Pom crab babies?

Mine just did this a few weeks ago , she will realise the eggs at night high up in the water column.
I never saw anything past larvae stage , faithful wrasse made quick work of them I believe.
Good luck with yours.
You may also try running floss before the skimmer and check it earlier in the am.

No fish or skimmer on tank. So hopefully that gives me a better chance!

Check the MOFIB site for tips of raising these crabs. From what I have read, very difficult to raise due to extremely small larvae and long time to settlement. Would be very cool if you were able to get them through meta.
