Horseshoe crabs

[lot 5 boyz]

I just ordered two horsecrabs and a carpet anemone. One of my horse crabs keeps running to anemone and attaching itself to it. Will it eat it, or hurt it in any way? Is there anything that I can do to stop this? I am fairly new at this, but I love to learn about this hobby. Any insite would be helpful. If you need any more information, please let me know. <img src="graemlins//confused.gif" border="0" alt="[confused]" />

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. i have a 125 gallon tank and one lasted about a month...the other lasted about 2 1/2 months. they were my favorites....wish there was something i could have done for them to prevent it. hope you have better luck.
