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
