Blue crabs usually eat clams, oysters, and mussels though they prefer freshly dead or freshly caught food. They do not eat barnacles but they are often found on the crab.

Red claw crabs are beach-combing scavengers, not even slightly picky. They do well with any of the formulated sinking foods, vegetables, tubifex worms, freeze dried foods (such as krill), brine shrimp, bloodworms, peas, beans, spinach and raw fish.
