Horseshoe crab attack

[TammyC]

I’m new to the hobby and I love my tank. I’m still learning.

I think my horseshoe crab ( I didn’t buy him, he came with a tank I purchased for the corals) . He’s been fine for several months. The tank also has two clown fish, coral beauty, two electric blue damsels. Today I “something “ took a chunk out of my coral beauty. Do you think it was the crab?

How big is the crab? Do you also have a photo of the coral beauty?

Horseshoe crabs have very small mouths and feeding claws. its really unlikely that they could attack a fish even if they wanted to. They tend to scavenge on very small morsels of meat or plant matter.
