You might want to describe the proper set up for a horseshoe crab. They need a minimum of 10'x10' sandy area to feed on.

What's the proper set up for chocolate chips?
I know they're not reef safe but other than that do they need anything special?

I havent done any research on either of these guys. I just have general knowledge on both and know I dont have the proper setups for them.
Pending pick up. Thanks for the interest for those who have pm'ed me. .

"Horseshoe crabs are not true crabs at all, but actually much more-closely related to spiders. They are also inappropriate for mixed invertebrate aquariums for many reasons. These "crabs" need to be kept in large, specialized (non-reef) systems that are have great open surface area and sand of depth. Definitely not recommended for casual keeping in small home aquaria with coarse sand and dense rockwork. The most commonly available species, Limulus polyphemus commonly ranges from Nova Scotia down to the Gulf of Mexico and grows to 2' long X 1' wide. Temperate (coolwater) species."
