Which invertabrates eat fish waste?

[Porcupine Reefer]

I have been seeing more visible dropings in my tank, was wondering what invertabrates I could buy to help with the problem.

Nassarius snails are great for left over food and detritus in sand

Is this the tank with the puffer? If so none he’ll eat them. But if another tank hermits, snails, urchins, and crabs!

Haha true they probably wouldnt hit the sand.

You want sand shifting activity. Pods break down waste but you need something that burrows.

Hermit crabs, urchins, and snails, but the best way to get rid of fish poop is increasing the flow near sandbed and eliminating dead spots in the tank. Usually just adding a powerhead or 2 will work and push the fish poop into the filter for manual removal. It will also help keep nutrients down if you are changing out mechanical media frequently
