Forams

[Wbflyer]

Hello all,

I have a ton of these in my tank and I am wondering what animal would consume these things that I could add to my tank? Snails?

Thanks!

In turn, forams are devoured by grazing animals such as snails, sand dollars, sea-cucumbers and scaphopods (tusk shells).

Weird wrasse that probably no one should have (bad survival rates)

All Macropharyngodon species feed primarily on small, shelled protozoa called foraminiferans, and snails. Copepods and amphipods make up a small portion of their diet. The foraminiferans are picked from the reef using their small canine teeth, and are quickly pulverized with their large pharyngeal teeth. Sessile inverts are completely ignored, as are the majority of other fish.

Only remembered that because I thought it was so weird to have specialized throat teeth to eat things like forams.
