I have just checked and this is what i found out. Most crabs are omnivores but prefer to eat meat such as bivalves (clams, oyster's, etc,) because they can assimilate more nutrients from the meat. The plants are low in nitrogen, which is an important nutrient for the crabs. However, there are a few species of crabs that are strictly herbivores.
