What or How do we feed our new Decorator Crab?

[roberts1]

We recently purchased a decorator crab to add to our 90 gallon. Our LFS said we should spot feed him with Krill, but he doesn't respond when we try to feed him. Does anyone know a good way to feed our little guy to eat? Thanks for your help!

Since he is new to the tank, I would give it more time. I feed my crabs...emeralds and porcelains....dried algae, Iko-Wakame, that I get from the asian store, and shrimp pellets. They are usually hanging around one particular area, so finding them is easy. Just drop the pellets in that area and they will find it. My shrimp eat the same things too. But to be honest, you shouldn't have to feed him everyday...there is enough algae and dietrus in the tank for him to survive.
