chex Posted April 27, 2003 Share Posted April 27, 2003 Well I have an emrald crab. I periodicaly check on the tank at night cause I'm up pretty late at night. Well my emrald was on top of my biggest piece of live rock, and standing on his back to legs. Then all of a sudden her little flap on the underside opened and released what looked to be little light blue balls. Iy looked or seemed like there were little legs moving but it could have been the current. Has any one else seen this? and did I have a knocked up crab? Any info would greatly, and hugely appreciated. Eric Link to comment

Squishie Posted May 1, 2003 Share Posted May 1, 2003 More than likley she was releasing eggs. Don't worry about a litte crab out break most if not all will be eaten by all of you suspension feeders. I had a prego pep schrimp and she released but I have yet to see any thing more than all of my filter feeders go nutz. Link to comment
