I will put it back in.
detrivore =
An organism that feeds on large bits of dead and decaying organic matter. What detrivores leave behind is used by decomposers.

Hard to tell from the pic if its like the one I tossed. I got a leather coral in and there was a white with black banded mini brittle that was munchin on it. Though it could have been just a baby starfish and not a mini brittle. _________ Got Questions? Need Answers?
