Horseshoe crabs are ancient marine arthropods that have existed for over 450 million years. They have a hard exoskeleton and a distinctive horseshoe-shaped body that gives them their name. Horseshoe crabs are typically found in shallow coastal waters along the eastern coast of North America and in parts of Asia. In the aquarium hobby, horseshoe crabs are often kept for their unique appearance and scavenging abilities. They are hardy and relatively easy to care for, but require a sand substrate to burrow in and plenty of hiding places. Horseshoe crabs should be provided with a diet of small pieces of fish, shrimp, or other meaty foods. It is important to note that horseshoe crabs are not true crabs, and do not have true legs or claws. They are more closely related to spiders and scorpions. Additionally, horseshoe crabs are not recommended for consumption, as their eggs may contain harmful toxins.

Dwarf Colored Feather Duster
Call for PriceThe Dwarf Colored Feather Duster, also known as the Dwarf Feather Duster or Sabellastarte sp., is a small and colorful species of marine segmented worm. It has a tube-like body that can range in color from red, orange, yellow, pink, or brown, with a feathery crown of tentacles used for feeding and respiration. This species is popular in reef aquariums due to its vibrant colors and filter-feeding habits. It requires a stable environment with high water quality and a consistent source of planktonic food. It is generally a hardy species that is easy to care for, but may require supplemental feeding in smaller aquariums. The Dwarf Colored Feather Duster is a sessile species that will attach to rockwork or other substrate in the aquarium. It reproduces by releasing larvae into the water column, which will settle and attach to a suitable surface to form a new individual. It may also retract into its tube if disturbed or threatened by predators.
