    Horseshoe crabs

    well, i'm sorry to hear you ordered horseshoe crabs. i wish someone had warned me before i bought them. i don't know about their contact with anemone's cause i don't have any. but horseshoe crabs aren't good for tanks. they don't have enough space, and the water isn't cold enough for them...

    ? about feather dusters

    I have 2 feather dusters in my 125 gallon. i've never had any problems with my blue leg hermits doing anything to harm them. when i put them in the tank i just put them in front of the rocks. they attached themselves. i wouldn't bother attaching them because if you handle them too much...

    Conch question

    i have 2 fighting conch's in my tank and wish i had a couple more. they're great! they just get on the glass and the sand. haven't even seen them on the rock. they do a great cleaning job. i've heard you shouldn't get a queen conch cause they get too big.

    Question for those with sand?

    i leave my sand alone...i don't touch it. it's live sand and pretty much it taken care of for the most part. i do have to disagree about the horseshoe crabs...don't get them. they will die, guaranteed.

    flame scallops

    yes, Jay, i get it. And yes, you are rude. Blunt is saying "Don't buy them". Rude is saying, "do you get it?" i got these with my invert package i ordered from THIS site. Why aren't there warnings????
