    thank you. my tank is new, only a couple months old so i will be looking for them new homes soon. right now they are about the size of a dime and can be very hard to find. they are really cool to watch because they push everything out of their way. they dont care what it is.

    horseshoe crabs are one of the coolest things IMO. It is really cool to see your baby hitch hikers. Thanks for posting.

    Yea they are really cool to watch. I had one in my tank about the size of a half dollar but had to give him away. They were knocking everything over. Every day I came home there would be another frag on the sandbed lol.

    if there is anyone that lives in the owensboro ky area that would be interested in some of these crabs and would be able to take care of them pm me. i dont want to give them up but i dont want them to die either so if you can give them a good home let me know.

    Wow, I'm amazed! Where'd you get your rock (so I can avoid it LOL).
    I love horseshoe crabs, but not in my home tank! Thanks for posting pics!

    Nice hitchikers, but too destructive for me. Good luck finding them homes.
