Hi there. Since this animal is classified as an arthropod, I have moved it to that category for you. Also, since you know it's an Atlantic horseshoe crab, you can go ahead and edit your spotting and fill in all the detailed information. Instead of "horseshoe crab" in the scientific name box, you can add "Limulus polyphemus" to that field. Then, slide that name up to the common name box. Thanks!
