Horseshoe crabs growing strong in SoundWaters

September 28, 2012/in Blog

SoundWaters has quite the Horseshoe Crab nursery going on in our aquarium. In addition to our adult Horseshoe Crabs we are also raising and monitoring a few young horseshoe crabs. This summer our campers were fortunate to find an abundance of Horseshoe Crab eggs and juvenile Horseshoe Crabs, capsule that are now thriving in our aquarium. The eggs have hatched and are now the size of a pin head. Our juvenile Horseshoe Crabs (about the size of a half dollar) are happily living together in a tank with baby puffer fish. Stop by the aquarium sometime and see if you can find them camouflaging with the sand!
