All that does is confirm evolution is working as they have adapted to the environemt well and the need for change has been minimal.
Also, you can't use one species to discredit what has been proven amoung millions of others, it doesn't work thats simply I'm afraid.

So, since the Earth and it's environment hasn't changed in 400M years, horseshoe crabs don't need to evolve?

The earth and the environment have, it's that have not needed to change because they have always been well adapted to the environments they have lived in for the past 400M years I would imagine.
If that one case disproves evolution in your eyes perhaps I should give a case of extreme rapid evolution. (this is paraphrased from an issue of new scientist) 10 years ago scientists put acidophobic bacteria into an acidic environment, over 40,000 generations they became acidophiles and needed the acid which used to kill them to stay alive... that is a 100% evolution, they are now a completely new species. That's ten year to do a complete evolution.
