[dermer]

what are your thoughts on a horseshoe crab
they haveone at my lfs and it seams to do a really good job keeping the sand clean

[shag26272]

it gets huge like over a foot I think

[Paintbug]

my thoughts on them is they should be left in the ocean. they need lots of sand, and often starve in a closed system.

I had one a few years back, they are one of the dumbest creatures I have ever owned. Constantly flipping upside down and getting stuck in rocks.

If you want one, put in a large shallow "pool" with a very low current.
