"fish that eats poop".... that's a good idea. especially in this economic climate. the fish food you throw in is used more than 1 time.

I believe there are a lot of undigested food in the poos if you feed a lot. I always see my tangs checking out the poos from another tang's poo. Sometime, they ate it, but most of the time I saw them spit it out.

well.. i think most fishes will eat others poo and spit it out after that.. especially tangs... IMO.. =]

Reduce feeding may solve the problem...fishes are always looking hungry, dun be "fool" by them.

Corals on the substrate will consume the poos...skimmer will also remove the organic waste.
