Horseshoe crab?

[wilecyote007]

Is it ok to add a horseshoe crab to an existing 75 gallon aquarium? It has been running for 4 months. The other inhabitants are 1 clown 2 firefish 1 fire shrimp and cuc. No other crabs though thank you for any information you can provide[emoji2]

They really need an establish aquarium I believe. More stuff to eat in the sand that way.

Horse shoe crabs are not really ideal candidates for aquariums they need a very large area to forage for the sand dwelling creatures they eat. An the aquarium is just not that kind of environment.
