Horshoe crabs are great! They do backflips and stuff in the tank, but its best to buy them tiny because they like to move around a lot and Youl need fine sand. Wouldnt put them in a tank smaller than 75 gal though. Unless you want just one

Be prepared to save him when he gets wedged in the rocks, hehe.

They're neat critters that need a lot of open sand, but they can be clumsy with rock work.

That's how mine died. Was stuck in the rock and I didn't catch it to a couple days. I was always digging it out from behind things.
