i have 6 crabs in mine. they kept killing my snails, and i didn't have any other place to put them.

 

[goinbroke]

so should throw in a few hermits and a couple snails?
what would they eat in there?

I just have one hermit, one astrea snail -- trust me they get food.
The point of a fuge really though is to clean your water -- not to give your tank something else to feed.
Dusters and pods should be reproducing like mad after awhile in there but a fuge's main purpose is filtration.. not to add more bioload.
