crabs on horses?

[patsan]

I don't have a seahorse tank, nor any seahorses.
I mentioned in a dog group I am in, that I have a reef tank, and someone said they used to have seahorses once that had all these baby crabs all over them and they had to pick them all off.
I never heard of this. Sorry to sound so ignorant, but
could this be right? If so, what kind of crabs would be all over them?

Never heard of that before. I would assume that if there were crabs on seahorses, the seahorses were either dead or dying.

Yeah, I never heard of it either...but I don't know anything about horses, and never even came into this forum.....but it sounded weird what she said, so I just wanted to see if it was true or possible that this really happened.
