Rehoming will be difficult to impossible.

yes, until they have eaten everything in your sandbed and starve

no

nowhere near enough sand or area

hth.

Leave them in the ocean.

Leave them in the ocean.

+1 Horseshoe crabs are not suitable for most home aquariums.

I personally think they should be illegal to sell no reason to put them in aquarium.

I've got one in my 75 gal w about 3 inch sand. Had him for about two yrs now. Started out about size of a quarter. Hes about 2 to 2 1/2 inches now. Doing great. Comes out from sand every couple days and just messes around.
