About Horseshoe Crab
Horseshoe crabs are marine and brackish water arthropods of the family Limulidae, suborder Xiphosurida, and order Xiphosura. Their popular name is a misnomer, as they are not true crabs, which are crustaceans. Horseshoe crabs live primarily in and around shallow coastal waters on soft sandy or muddy bottoms.
