Crabs!

My 4 hermit crabs and 2 turbo snails have done an awesome job of clearing EVERY SINGLE BIT of algae (diatoms/green/brown hair algae) in my 10G nano in about 3 days. But, they hardly have anything left to eat now!

When I fed my clown earlier with frozen marine mix, the crabs went mad, running around like crazy trying to get a bit of food dropping down.

Should I be feeding them some supplementary food? How about a bit of sea veggies a couple of times a week at the bottom of the tank?

I dont see a problem with that...as long as you only put enought that they eat it all... if you put too much you WILL have algae and lots of it. Or just make sure you let a little bit of extra food fall to the bottom when you feed. They will clean it right up.
