This is how a horseshoe crab swims...

It's rare to see a horseshoe crab (face hugger) swimming because they hardly ever do. When they do swim, they swim upside down.
The horseshoe crab has been around for 200 million years before the dinosaurs. They have 10 eyes, 10 claws, 7 pairs of legs, and blue blood.
They are basically harmless and their claws are not strong enough to hurt a person.
Their blood is highly valued in the medical industry and is worth $15,000 per quart. Fortunately, they are not endangered, or even listed as threatened.
They shed their exoskeleton regularly as they grow.

That was my thought...how hard is it to breed those guys in captivity or do you have to catch them from the wild, drain a portion then release? (Because killing them, while temporarily more profitable, would end up with them becoming threatened or endangered so best to leave alive to maintain job security.) Edit: I looked it up. A lot are harvested from the wild using the catch and release method like I guessed but they can also be farmed in captivity if they are artificially inseminated or the eggs are collected from the wild. They won't mate on their own in captivity because they only mate where their eggs were previously hatched. They are fairly easy to care for otherwise.
