I named him Charlie. |

Charlie, my horseshoe crab, Arrived in perfect health. He's a bit clumsy but he's perfect. He's about the size of a half dollar! and way more active than any of my fish. I love him!! |

I have two of these in a 90g each around 1.5" in size. One of them loves to swim backflips through the tank for about 30 minutes each night before going back to the sand bed. |
