I like feeding live bloodworks to my critters, which now consists of Red Clawed Crabs and Fiddler crabs. I've also got a blood fin tetra and a trio of Bumblebee Gobies.

The blood worms die in the salty water pretty quickly, is there something else living that I can feed to these guys? My crabs aren't very fast, lazy buggers, so something slow and bottom-y would be nice. I also feed alge pellets, my fiddler will poke over, pick it up, and munch about half of it, then leave the rest of it to dissolve at it's own pace.
 
Why would you feed live food to the crabs anyways? They're scavengers by nature.
 
Yeah, you should be able to feed them pretty much anything.
 
Hah, good point.

I have been feeding them dehydrated fruit bits, actually, and thye've been loving them (so has my filter).

I'm surprised so many crabs get along together like this, but they're quite peaceful.
