A female horseshoe crab may lay between 60,000 and 120,000 eggs, laying a few thousand at a time. Most of the eggs are eaten long before being able to hatch.
Appearance: Horseshoe crabs grow to two feet in length. They have a hard, rounded, brownish-green exoskeleton, a spike-like tail and five pairs of jointed legs. Their widely spaced eyes look like bumps on the top of their shell.Their gills have folds of membranes that look like the leaves of a book. Just like other arthropods, horseshoe crabs must molt to grow. 2  They leave their old shells behind and grow a new, larger shell. 3  Horseshoe crabs swim upside down and can survive out of the water for an extended period of time if their gills are kept moist.
