Material and Design Breakdown
Hikari Crab Cuisine is formulated as a sinking hard stick, a format specifically designed to reach the bottom of the tank or enclosure where crustaceans naturally feed. The hard stick texture is suited to the feeding behavior of crabs, lobsters, crawfish, and shrimp, providing a food source they can grip and consume at their own pace. The enriched calcium content directly supports the shell development and structural health that is critical for crustacean well-being.

Feed Hikari Crab Cuisine directly to your crustaceans by placing the appropriate amount in the tank or enclosure. The sinking format ensures the food reaches bottom-dwelling animals. Feed the amount your crustaceans will consume within a reasonable time to minimize waste. Suitable for lobsters, shrimp, crawfish, and hermit crabs.
