Amphipods, Copepods, Snails, Crabs, Sea Slugs, Urchins, Bristle worms and a few other small critters. Fecal matter from fish is not such a bad thing though when kept under control. It aids in cycling and up keeping of a healthy ecosystem and helps mature a tank along.

Hahaha, yea they are certainly grazers of all things. What are you feeding it? They need a variety of foods in order to stay healthy and "regular" like Mysis, Algae, some flakes and pellets (not very consistent), Rods food..you know..the list goes on and on
