Should I put these in aquarium ?

[misty7850]

My Son brought these home from the beach, here in Daytona, he wants to put them in the aquarium.
. I'm not sure what kind of snail it is and weather it would be reef safe.
I know the crab is a sand crab, don't know anymore bout it.
he also brought home a handful of Seaweed ???
Right now they are in quarintine
I dunno, don't wanna ruin my set up by putting them in..
I appreciate any feedback and ID's.
Should I let them stay, or evict them, and tell my son to take them back to wence they came.

Not sure on the seaweed or possible conch, but I'd hold off on the crab. Take a closer look at his claws. If they're pretty sharp then he's most likely a carnivore and probably would cause trouble. Whatever you do, if you decide to put any in your tank make sure they never make it back to the wild. This can introduce new disease etc. into the wild. So once they're in your tank they're there for good.

the crabs claws are very pointed, so I quess he is evicted, before he even gets in.. I understand you about not sending them back to the wild after putting them in tank. I haven't put them in yet, still in quarentine., thanks
