The crabs will die. You need something that is just as agressive as piranhas. It will last for a week or two then realize it will be a good snack. The only thing you can do about that un eaten food is pick it up your self.

I have a 3" crawfish at the bottom of my tank & he does pretty good clean up work. I have six 2" piranhas & they only bother him when they're fighting over food that's fell to the bottom.
