Baby Horseshoe Crabs

Those are super small, but then they get to be monsters.

Females get to be about 16" across and 2' long!

really cool
still alive?lol

No. :-( They did well while I was still in NY and was able to collect ocean water once a week for water changes. Tried distilled water and marine salt here but they didn't last.. Died after about two weeks.

There was one that grew faster than his clutch mates. Was about 1/3" at time of death.

they grow SUPER slow

With good care, in the time of a year from hatch, it should be an inch an a half in length.
