Food for crabs?

[Pannslo]

Hi all, I'm new here. My hermit crabs have been spending a lot of time battling each other (even though there's tons of empty shells) and are spending way too much time on my SPS's.

This is a new thing since the post-leak rebuild. Guessing the substrate is a bit too clean for them now and they're getting hungry. Anyone have suggestions for a tablet or something to get some food in their belly's? I feed pellets, flake and Rod's - but not so much where the fish leave a ton for the crabs - yet I don't want to dump TOO much in just to feed them too.

Hi, crabs can eat many of the same things as we can. They need protein and calcium sources daily.

Pellets and commercial foods often contain harmful additives and aren't considered a good long term option. Here is the care sheet that explains why most commercial foods aren't appropriate:
