The mangrove horseshoe crab is a sea creature with a hard shell and a long spiky tail. It lives in warm, shallow, muddy coastal waters in South and Southeast Asia. Its flesh contains a deadly poison, so it is important to know it apart from a safe relative.1

It is a selective feeder on the bottom, eating mainly insect larvae, small fish, small crabs and thin-shelled bivalves. It has no jaws, so it grinds food with bristles on its legs and passes it to its mouth with its small front pincers.1

  • It is the smallest of the four living horseshoe crab species.1
  • Its tail has a rounded cross section. In the other species the tail is essentially triangular.1
  • Females are larger than males. Females are typically about 30.5 to 31.5 cm long including the tail.1
  • Adults have a large dome-shaped front shell, a smaller rear shell with spines on its edge, and a spike-like tail.1

Wɔtaa fa no sɛ: It is often confused with Tachypleus gigas, which is harmless to eat. The mangrove horseshoe crab has a rounded tail, while T. gigas has a triangular one. Tachypleus tridentatus can live in the same habitat.1

Its flesh contains tetrodotoxin (TTX), a poison that is lethal. This is a poison in the food, not a venom from a bite or sting.1

Its flesh contains a lethal poison, but its roe is a prized delicacy in Thailand, where it is served in a salad called yam khai maeng da.1

2

Horseshoe crabs have remained almost unchanged in shape and size for millions of years, and their fossils over 400 million years old look almost identical to living ones.1

3

Juveniles grow about 33% bigger each time they moult, taking about five moults to grow from 2 cm to adult size.1

4

Males cling to the backs of females for long periods before the eggs are laid, and it is thought that this species is monogamous.1

5

Horseshoe crabs have two compound eyes, which are mainly used to find a mate.1

Atosɛm sɛefoɔ

Atosɛm: All horseshoe crabs are safe to eat.

Nokorɛ: The mangrove horseshoe crab is not safe. Its flesh contains lethal tetrodotoxin, unlike T. gigas, which is harmless to eat.1

Females lay about 3500 eggs in a hole dug in the sand or mud, and the male fertilises them. The large eggs hatch after a couple of weeks into miniature versions of the adults.1
