| Other Information: |
The spawn date is not accurate and UNKNOWN. Spawns are hidden in the egg pouch area and are rarely seen unless you catch the crab aerating the eggs or the spawn is huge. I estimated the spawn date to be ~2 weeks prior to the hatch date, but I have no real information to base this on. |
