Hi I have recently bought a small horseshoe crab and put it in my saltwater tank my saltwater levels are good and my temperature is good but for some reason my small little horseshoe crab keeps floating on his back at the bottom of the sand I don't know if this means that he is dying or if this is something that they do I know it's normal for them to swim upside down I've already did the research on that but this doesn't look like he's swimming he's just laying on his back he tries to flip over and he can't and I flip him over and then he just rolls back over what does this mean can anyone help me please I'm just worried that he's going to die

Hi @Annmarie, can you define “good” when talking about your parameters? How old is the tank, if new - did it cycle etc.

Please post some stats, pics help too!
