horseshoe crab

What do I feed my horseshoe crab?

these are another species better left in the ocean. they grow really big and rely on worms and mollusks in the sandbed for food, which is imposible maintain.

sorry for the bad news but these guys should not be kept in an aquarium.

Here is an answer to your question and not an opinion.
Dont feed it anything. It is a scavenger. It will find food in your sandbed or starve.

Let it scavenge as Engine 7 said. They scour sand for pods, mysis leftovers and things like that.

Good luck!

I kept a horseshoe crab for about a year and it was fine until the mantis (bam-bam) got ahold of him!
