hello, Im new here. My anemone swallowed my horseshoe crab. I think its trying to spit it out but cant. The horseshoe crab spines are latched on. Horseshoe crab still alive. Will both die? What do you guys think?

Anybody have any experience with those guys, i took one in from someone who closed his tank, its about 2 inch. He said he ate detritus, but from what i've red, they eat more than that. They can strip your sand bed of all life and starve. Any truth to that, i've got a healthy live sand bed ...

So my wife said today that our horseshoe crab "Tank" got sucked into the powerhead and died while I was away at a meeting. He has gotten stuck to it before but ususally on his shell side then he waits around for one of us to notice him, turn off the PH and set him free again. Does anyone know...

Hey everyone, i have a few questions. First off, i have a pep shrimp that has recently molted, but during the molt he lost like 3 of his legs (i assume that they came off with his shell, i can see them in his cast off shell, and he is missing the same legs on his body). I know they can grow back...

Okay so I have (had) one of these guys. Well he was all happy for about a month, but yesterday I found his shell lying next to my anemone. Do you guys think it was a molted shell or the cuc had already aken care of his insides? P.S. I usually see him once every two days and I havent seen him...

Hello to all, I am a newbie to the reef tank in all aspects. This is my first saltwater tank and I am hooked. I think the last fish tank i had was when i was 10 and i never took care of it. Good thing I went straight to a semi-big complicated tank. But everything has been going so easy and...

I told her to wait because people recommend around 6 months for an anenome. I've had my tank up since December and I've not encountered any problems but I am kind of worried about keeping up with the LTA. I got it on thursday and I haven't had any problems yet (except it got alittle sucked...
