Boxing Crab ID Please

Hello!

I just bought a boxing crab and received it today. He came with an odd little red bulge stuck to his underneath. Can anyone tell me if this is an egg sack of some kind or something else perhaps?

Thanks for your time.

looks like an egg sack to me...free food for the fish!

LOL, ok. Do you think any will make it to adulthood? This is such a cool little crab!

Your only hope is to put her in a tank by herself with minimal filtration - it will suck in and kill all the babies...

Nice! I love pompom crabs! Good luck catching her though, mine never comes out of her cave
