Pom Pom Egg Sack
 

I've had a bunch of Pom Poms for a while & as soon as I move 2 of them from my reef into a smaller tank this happens.

So what's next?

Little baby pom poms?

or just lots of extra food for it's tank mates?

Probably the latter, but still pretty damn cool, and I know the odds are against them but it's probably not impossible for one to make it..... just really unlikely. Looks like she's got a lot there tho!!
GREAT pic!

Pom Pom
 

I have about 6 pom poms in my tank and I have seen a few times a crab releasing eggs but never have I seen any that made it:sad:. I have also seen one of my pom poms eat the eggs out of her own belly :question:.

I'm guessing it's happened loads of times but in a crowded reef tank I've never noticed.

I noticed my cleaner shrimp tend to eat the eggs from it's belly too.

Yuck!

crustacean eggs
 

all my shrimp and crab species release swimming babies all the time around evening time and the fish go hog wild over them. haven't seen anyone made it yet.

i think i had one make it from the last egg sac in my 10g contest tank. i found a tiny little crab that i never got id'd so i just tossed it in my display that im tearing down soon. looked simular to a pom pom but couldnt tell as it was sooooo small.

How small was it?

What else was in the 10g?

Mine is in a 15g with a Frogfish, False Perc, Cleaner Shrimp & 1 other Pom Pom.

Maybe it'll get my Frogfish to start eating when the baby crabs hatch!
