What snail or fish eats poo?

[Makubex]

I think theres this snail that eats poo in salt water but i cant remember its name... any other fish or inv that eats it or transforms it into something else? Thanks

I think copepods and amphipods will do so. There are also bacteria that will break it down.

Microbacter starter bacteria?

Yes and no. Microbacter 7, the one you refer to, does supposedly have some of these in it. However I am refering to microbacter clean, which is a different product (just the cleaning bacteria, not the ones that rid the tank of ammonia and nitrite).

The blue tang poops, the yellow tang eats it, then he poops, then the sand dwellers finish it off.

What a team!

Corals and filters eat poo-. Some fish go after it and spit it out while some fish do this and retain it (Yuk)

Tiger tail cucumber is the only thing I know of that eats detritus.
