There are four horseshoe crab species, above Tachypleus Gigas, it's the male on the female's tail waiting to be first to get in the sand after her and fertilize the eggs as the first male.

This is a nice way to handle a horseshoe crab. Always remember to out the animal back to same place you found it from, and look for you fingers not getting pinched between the shell edges.
Look for more:

Holding a horseshoe crab this way may cause serious injure to the animal! I put it here for you to know it is very wrong indeed!
Älä koskaan pidä molukkirapua pyrstöstä kuten kuvassa! Se voi vahingoittaa eläintä pysyvästi!
