I have 3 fiddler crabs, well 1 of them is not a fiddler crab, I don't know what kind it is, I have 2 male and 1 female. I went to go check on them and I saw the female crab, and under her is like a brown sack??? I don't remember this on her when I bought her. It now looks like theirs brownish blackish balls in it. It's so big it's just sticking out from under her! I cant get a good pic of her because she moves every time then the pic goes blurry. Any ideas? Or is this normal?
 
I don't know. They look like round balls. I just noticed, because I can never find her in the tank. Until now, I'm surprised I even did find her.
 
Does it look like this?

mmmm, caviar
 
Yep. She's carrying eggs. If they are fertilized, you should see the male actively defending her when they are visible under the breast plate.
