Home›Echinoderms›Diet›Detritivore or ScavengerBrowse ByDetritivore or ScavengerDiet groups species by what they mainly eat: herbivores that feed on plants, carnivores that feed on other animals, omnivores that eat both, and narrower feeding styles such as insectivores, piscivores, filter feeders, detritivores and scavengers, and parasitic species that live on or in a host. A species is placed by its own typical adult feeding behavior as described on its page, not by an occasional or unusual meal.FactsDetritivore or ScavengerSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonReproductive ModeWell-attestedOviparous (Egg-Laying) 1Detritivore or ScavengerFilter Results5 entriesCommon GroupAllBrittle Stars and Basket Stars (Ophiuroidea) (1)Sea Cucumbers (Holothuroidea) (3)Sea Urchins and Sand Dollars (Echinoidea) (1)TaxonomyAllEchinodermata (2)Echinoidea (1)Holothuroidea (2)HabitatAllIntertidal Zone (2)Marine (2)Seagrass Meadow (1)Conservation StatusAllLeast Concern (1)Vulnerable (1)EcosystemAllCoral Reef Systems (1)Coral Sea (1)Great Barrier Reef (1)Everyday GroupAllBrittle Stars and Basket Stars (Ophiuroidea) (1)Sea Cucumbers (Holothuroidea) (3)Sea Urchins and Sand Dollars (Echinoidea) (1)System (Realm)AllMarine (5)Relationship to PeopleAllFarmed or Commercially Raised (1)Hunted or Fished (1)Kept as Pets (1)Living or ExtinctAllYes (4)Where It LivesAllColombia (1)Denmark (1)Gulf of Alaska (1)Kenya (1)Norway (1)Sweden (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 5Brittle StarDetritivore or ScavengerCalifornia Sea CucumberDetritivore or ScavengerHolothuria EdulisDetritivore or ScavengerSand DollarDetritivore or ScavengerSea CucumberDetritivore or ScavengerSources1.
