Comes up in pots

Hello,

10:00A.M. Light rain, on and off. Deck is slippery enough, and jellyfish remains make it worse. Amazing what comes up in pots, besides crabs.

Does “come up” connote things appear unexpectedly?

In this case no, I think not. I think "come up" is more literal, referring to the pulling up of the pots by rope.
