Default Seeking advise for horseshoe crab

Hi Sifu-s,

I would like to check if horseshoe crab is easy to keep ?

Also, what are their husbandries ?

I understand that they do eat clams, shrimps and etc, but can I just feed them with pellets ?

And most importantly, where can I get them.

Went to Paris Ris Lot 35, marine shop and wait for weeks already, still no stock. My marine tank has been running for more than 2 weeks with 2 blue dempsey inside cycling the tank. Is it ok ?

Million thanks.

B.rgds,

Thank for the inputs Bro-s.

Bro Starman-n,

I believe you are referring to the sea monkey which we can hatch it ourselves.
