One small correction - I did not suggest shrimp - they are hunters,
not only scavengers. I saw one Lysmata amboinensis pulling a worm
from the crevice in the rock to eat it alive while the worm was
curling into a small ball - it did not help him alot...

Ok Pszemol.
Beside Pszemol, I still recommend shrimp as they are part of janitoral crew.
I mostly have are Peppermint kind that very behave.

Unfortunatelly, the effects of shripms on DSB will be similar to those
caused by the sifting stars or digging fish, crabs etc...
With a very large tank, and small number of shrimps it might work.
But put a couple of shrimps in a small 30-50 gallons tank and they
will clean the live sand out of whatever alive and moves in the sand...

Shrimps do not eat detritus - worms do... Shrimps eat worms :-(
