Please Clarify: Live part of Live Sand (DSB)

[neutronics]

Please help me clarify my understanding.
I was wondering about the "live part" of LS.
It is just the
a) bacteria
b) detrivores
c) all of the above
d) none of the above?
I believe it is c, am I right?

if you are referring ot the bagged stuff: generally a), but sometimes c), if it is c), it should say on the bag
if you are referring to your dsb, after it has been matured, it really should be c), if not something may not be right, unless you never added det's(or lr which has them, too)

Can you tell me the member/types of detrivores?
Are detrivores made up of
worms,
crabs,
shrimps and
snails ONLY?
Are there any other organisms I have left out like sea apples??

 

[fshhub]

micro and mini brittle stars are often found too
