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.
