Hello all! I tried googling this, but all it kept giving me was information about kangaroos and such, so here I am. I just got my very first isopods today and I noticed this pale pink spot on the underside of one of my P. scaber. I read as much as I could before having these cuties arrive, but there's still a lot I've got to learn. I can't see very well as it is still very small, but it appears to have its pouch full up with that pink thing smack in the middle. The rest of the pouch appears to be what I would expect from a gravid/pregnant (not sure the term for it for isopods..?) one, but I just want to be sure this isn't a parasite or something I should be worried about. Any advise or resources are appreciated. Thank you!

Pictures would help, but it's likely nothing to worry about
