I dont know how fast they grow but they get to be pretty big.

Had one for about little more than a year. It died last week, They just don't do good in captivity. He was always under the sand and when he came up my tangs always bothered him. He had plenty of room to swim around, just make sure you have plenty of space for him. Good Luck

Those are the kind you get at a zoo. Normal marine aquarium ones dont get that big

Do you think a 24g aquapod is big enough?

No, horseshoe crabs are horseshoe crabs. Any kind you find will get big. Sorry, but a 24g is much too small

Hmm lol ya. The only difference between zoo horseshoe crabs and fish store horseshoe craps is the fish store ones haven't grown up yet.
