How big is an adult horseshoe crab? A mature male ranges from 7-9 inches across the helmet-like prosoma, with an overall length, from head to tail, of 13-16 inches long. Mature females typically are much larger than the males, ranging from 9-12 inches across the widest part of the shell and 16-20 inches long.
