Lyretail Wrasse
Hello,
<Hi Jessica>
My name is Jessica and I have a question about housing certain things together. Is it possible to house a horseshoe crab in the same aquarium with
a lunar wrasse? Thank you very much.
<I wouldn't. They are an aggressive fish and crustaceans is on the menu. James (Salty Dog)>
Horseshoe Crab/Compatibility 1/9/07
Hi,
<Hi Joey>
I purchased a horseshoe crab a week ago and just today bought some Camel Shrimp...I
went to work and came home and just found their heads.
<Mmmm cannibals in the tank.>
Could my Horseshoe Crab have eaten them or did they die first?? I bought live
cured rock today could that have been a problem??
<Well Joey, what else is in the tank besides the Horseshoe Crab? Horseshoe
crabs are mainly sand sifting filter feeders, although there are some
species that are more predatory. Depending on what specie you have, the crab
could have very well ate them. Again, you may have a fish or other invertebrate
that had lunch on you. As for dying first, could very well have happened
depending on your acclimation method. The newly purchased live rock; could have
gotten a Mantis Shrimp as a not so nice bonus.>
Thanks
<You're welcome. James (Salty Dog)>
Joey
