Food waste eater

[assafelbaz]

Hi.

I need recommandation of a fish/ivertebrate that will go all over the tank all day long and will eat any food that got left behind... I noticed that my fish eat most of the food but some of it got between the rocks or just lying down on the sand.

It doesn't matter how much i am feeding, they always leaving something to fall...

Thanks.

Hermit crabs and shrimp would work for meaty items

For plant / seaweed stuff there are various snails that will do the job -basically what you're looking for is often referred to as a clean up crew

I would say a brittle or serpent star (or two).

I actually just added a cleaner shrimp and love watching him skitter around the tank looking for food after I put some in. And he never fails to end up with a nice size chunk.
