Leave the horse shoe crab, they need not only a deep sandbed but will strip it clean in no time and starve. They are best left in the ocean. Not to mention they get way too big for a 150. Very few people have long term success with linkia as well.

It's all about size. Most of these probably won't add a ton but a crab that gets 6-8 inches across will absolutely increase your load substantially
