horseshoe crabs

Does anyone have horseshoe crabs in there tanks?

These are cool lookin' creatures. But not suitable for the average home aquarium, IMO. They will bury themselves in your sand bed, bulldoze your rocks, eat all the sand bed infauna and then probably starve to death. If it doesn't, they can get HUGE (like 10-12").
I would be interested in knowing whether anyone has had long-term success with these in their tank also. :thinking:

Don't waste your time they will not survive in the longrun. They are fun until you have to much live rock....then they cannot move around and eventully burry themselves and die.
These are creatures best left to the ocean.
