As part of the conversion from CC to a DSB, I purchased 30lbs of LS from the LFS.
Got home and placed the LS into the tank and suddenly something started moving! Checked it out and apparently there was a horseshoe crab that made its escape from the LFS via the LS.
I'm assuming that he'll help to churn the LS, but is this a good thing or bad (i.e., should I be looking at getting him out, or can he work towards the good of a FOWLR?
OK, assuming he stays, now I have an extra mouth to feed - should I include him in my "cleanup crew" staff and assume he will get enough detris in the LS, or does he require special care/feeding? He's usually buried in the sand and I have a difficult time finding him.
Appreciate any thoughts on my new found friend.
