Ever wonder how a horseshoe crab swims?

So not idea situation. Long story short my cucumber somehow made it into mu sump and into my return pump and shredded himself. So he nuked my tank. Lost two good fish but managed to save everyone else. Including my horseshoe crab! Had her about a year and six months now. Tiny when I got her so I was happy she came out and I was able to get her. Shes in a temporary bin at the moment. Looked in and this is how she is swimming around! Thought it was cool and wanted to share it since these last two days have been crisis management to save my fish.

Yeah they are! I always feel like Im transported back in time when I see her come out! Its not often I see her since she lives in the sand all the time but when I do I cant stop staring at her! First time Ive ever seen her swim like that though! She usually just crawls around on the bottom.

Its super cool! Ive never seen her come out and swim like that! Well at least when the lights are on. She occasionally comes out at night and scurries around on the rocks and stuff but never seen her swim!
