Horse Shoe Crab

[muckworm]

I have a Horse Shoe Crab that I will give away to anyone in the Chicago area... very cool little guy and good sand sifter. I am giving him away because I want to get a detitrivore kit and I know that he will eat everything before they get established and I don't want to waste my money!

Muckworm,
Where are you located in the Chicago area, and what size is the horseshoe crab?
Thanks!

 

[muckworm]

RobChuck, I'm in Elmhurst and the crab is about an inch long... maybe a little longer, but still pretty small.

If you're in Aurora, I'de be happy to drop him off by you.

I may possibly be interested. My wife has an equal say of what goes in the tank, let me see what she says first.

 

[muckworm]

Let me know... they are VERY interesting creatures!

 

[muckworm]

So RobChuck, did your wife say NO?

 

[robchuck]

Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner, but she's not too thrilled about the idea. Best of luck with your sand bed!

Whar do HS crabs eat?

 

[muckworm]

Well, I have never fed mine directly... he mainly eats left over food and fish crap..... they will also eat DSB fauna, thats why it is best only to put them in an established DSB....
