I currently have my zebra eel on a cook tiger shrimp diet soaked in garlic guard and selcon. I have added live ghost shrimp and pepper shrimp, but he befriends (unfortunately this friendship is short lived due to the lion fishies jealousy 
). I want to add a cruncher diet, because I want to keep his teeth in good shape. I was thinking of getting a small crab to see if he will eat it. My only concern is that he is 5 years old now and been tank raised since he was just a few inches (he was sooo cute ^^ now he is 3.5 feet long and tamer than a kitten). My only concern is that, because of his extremely timid nature that the crab might actually hurt the eel. I have also been informed that they may eat oysters or clams. I know due to parasites that I must freeze them for a few weeks before feeding. At the same time I am concerned that if he does not exercise his jaw and teeth with hard shells that they were design for that eventually they will weaken. Considering he is 5 years old now there is no way I can test to see if his teeth have already weakened. Any suggestions in this area would be helpful.
