Anybody have thoughts on supporting inverts, emerald crab, blue knee hermits, nassarius. I was thinking of home made mix of algea wafers with grocery clams mixed up.
 
Unless you've got an ultra low nitrient system and feed very little, I think most inverts don't really need to be fed. There's plenty around for them to feed on.
 
They'll go for meaty food preferentially, but they're all omnivores and can live largely on detritus. Feed a little extra of what other things get and they should be fine.
 
I feed my hermit crabs a little bit of Rod’s Food sometimes because they get super excited about it, and it’s fun to watch their little crab drama about it

I used to feed my invert tank once daily with a small amount of frozen mysis or reef frenzy.... algae and micro algae will grow in the tank naturally.
