Hikari® Tropical Crab Cuisine® is a uniquely formulated stick that offers multiple benefits for aquatic scavengers, including lobsters, shrimp, underwater crawfish, and hermit crabs. This high-quality food contains elevated levels of calcium, promoting healthy shell development, and is designed as a hard pellet that quickly sinks to the aquarium bottom, allowing your hard-shelled friends to feed at their leisure. Its proprietary manufacturing process ensures the food holds up well in high-humidity environments, preventing rapid fouling, particularly when used with hermit crabs. Additionally, it promotes desirable form and coloration, while not dissolving or clouding the water.

For lobsters, shrimp, and other aquatic scavengers, feed one to four mini sticks twice daily, adjusting based on the size of the animals. It’s important to avoid overfeeding and always remove any uneaten food to maintain water quality and prevent health issues.

For hermit crab care and maintenance, with proper feeding and environmental care, hermit crabs can live up to 10 years. A clean environment, free from debris and stagnant water, is essential for their health. Hermit crabs require clean, fresh water that should be changed daily, with an enclosure temperature of around 75°F (24°C) and high humidity. Their eating habits are irregular, with feeding intervals ranging from days to weeks. For the best results, offer Hikari® Tropical Crab Cuisine® in a shallow dish once a week, providing approximately 2 grams of food per hermit crab. Any uneaten food should be removed after 24 hours to maintain a clean habitat.
