DT's is good. Brain is nice, pretty color, good health. Horseshoe crabs, while interesting, may not have been a good choice. They have voracious appetites, eat everything they can get out of your sand bed, and can grow to 12" across. Hmmm, maybe should have researched this one further.

Sorry if I sound so blunt, but, hopefully others can learn before letting impulse influence their decision. As the "old man of reefing", I feel an obligation to teach.

I like the brain.

I agree with Dick. I tried the horsecrab myself back in the day and it didn't last long. Maybe starved? They prefer lower water temps too. He just never looked happy.
