But its a single pom pom it would still produce eggs then? this is jsut a protetice layer for the eggs? if this is an egg sac(?) they wouldnt hatch due to not being fetalized ?

female crabs can also store sperm for a period of time so if the crab is new, the eggs may be fertilized. Fertilized or not though, it doesn't really matter; it will just be food for the coral either way.
sounds like eggs to me too but without a pic we can't really tell you anything for sure. for all we know it could be a parasitic alien.
