what to feed

[vipermako]

got 2 electric blue hermit in my 4 wks old tank.

Currently they are feeding on algae, almost all gone already.

So how to sustain them?

hermit crabs are scavengers, they eat almost anything. Left over foods trapped on liverocks in areas where the water flow can't sweep thru, these hermit crabs will clean up for you. dun have to worry.

Food will not be an issue to them. They will eat any scraps that your fish miss out. If they are another species besides Calcinus elegans I doubt they are reef safe and might pose a danger to small fish. If they are Calcinus elegans then you have nothing to worry about as this species prefers eating algae to eating meat. If you run out of algae for them you could always feed them nori which can be purchased from ntuc (unseasoned). Also do have extra shells around to let them change shells as they moult and grow.
