Default Pom Pom Crab eggs

Just spotted my Pom Pom underneath one of my rocks and it's clutching a bunch of massive eggs. Are their eggs usually this size?

Those aren't pom pom eggs. Pom eggs look like a sack of brilliant red teeny tiny eggs.

Do you have Banggai Cardinals? Those look like Banggai eggs. Certainly not Pom Pom eggs.

I only have 1 of them, I was curious cause the Pom Pom had eggs and then the next thing I know, it's waking around with those in between it's legs. I have a pair of blue eyed cardinals, would those be the same type of eggs?

One Banggai or one Pom Pom? I haven't seen the eggs from the Blue Eyed Cardinals, but that is a possibility.

Those eggs could be from the Banggai if it is a female. It would make sense that the crab ends up with the eggs if there is no male to hold the eggs.
