No, not really. Its more that getting them to breed is the easy part. Making sure the crabs place the eggs in the SW pool - not on land or freshwater! - and subsequently, raising the young is the tricky part.

There are very common times when a pair of crabs decide to breed, but the keeper is unable to care for the eggs to raise them to hatch.
