Gorilla Crab Diet

Well I had two of these boys as hitchhikers in some LR. Original thread/pics at:

I have been trying to find info on their diet. I assume they graze on algae, as I witnessed them doing so in my tank. Further, I assume they easy meaty foods as they are predatory.

<I>Is anybody keeping them in a sump/fuge?</I> I want to keep mine, but was no sure what I could add to provide sustenance. The fuge I am planning will contain some macroalgae and rock rubble.

Thanks.

In general they're opportunistic predators & scavengers and will eat pretty much anything that doesn't move fast enough to get away from them. They'll do better if you supply meat every couple of days.
