What kind of diet do these beauties require???? I have read that phytoplankton is their only diet...is this true???? I have fed mine with some mysis and spirulina.....and they ate....

Also, is phytoplankton naturally occurring in the tank???

they will catch small particles with their little nets as they fan away all day and night.

We had one who would happily hop on to the end of the turkey baster and grab some mysis, too.

I think they are like other crabs, they scavenge what they can get like that, but will sit themselves where they can put their nets in some current and grab things we can't see.

As long as you're feeding your tank (fish) I think there's enough in there for them too.
