Good poo eaters

[Crabs McJones]

Gross title I know, but what is the best fish poo eater? Are there any?
In my bare bottom tank, with my heavy stocking, there are piles of fish poo collecting underneath my rockwork. It's not causing any nutrient spikes as my fuge is able to keep up with it as it decays. But I'd like to get a critter to possibly clean it up a little bit. I do siphon it out during water changes and blow it out with a turkey baster occasionally, but would still like to get something that will naturally remove it.
Thoughts?

Copepods I think would. The other option is to just add another wavemaker

How about some hermit crabs?

 

[eggplantparrot]

spaghetti worms?

Add Bristle worms?
Second Another powerhead and maybe add some slower growing large mouth corals. Definitely seen my rics and euphylia eat fish poop.

I have hermits, what I dont have is spaghetti or bristleworm after changing out all my live rock

Bristle worms, copepods, hermit crabs, snails, and the best of all.....the siphon you use do water changes. That siphon sucks poo like .... uh.... something that can't be repeated here on R2R, cause this is a kid friendly forum.

Could you drop a gyre on the bottom?

Hi,

worms will probably be hard to keep with no bed to burrow thru. Just a thought :)

You want bristle worms? Cause I got bristle worms. They don't even bother hiding during times with the light on. And are all trained to eat scraps during feeding time!!! That is only partially a joke, btw.

Honestly I wouldn't be completely against that lol. But I know my uncle has bristles in his tank, I'll steal a few of his :)

I was reading that serpent stars are poo eaters, any truth to this?

We have seven of these, that's about all their good for. They seem to have no significant effect on waste in my aquarium though.

most adorable thing ever. When you ship to crabs does it inc the underwater gear?

I must apologize to @Crabs McJones for hijacking his thread!

A sea cucumber. Bonus, they even look like poo.

I apologize, also, I just couldn't pass it up. Bristle worms and hermits seem to work for me. More the worms than the hermits. oh and mini brittle stars.
