Sorry... never heard this term before... and in such a childish way... it made me laugh quite hard when you say it out loud.

I think it's a great term! It easily explains why tropheus, among other cichlid species, aren't vegetarian though it appears they are at first glance.

What's even stranger is when I stub my toe and yell out "small animals and plants that encrust hard substrates, such as rocks, in aquatic environments" followed by "that hurt!!"

But everyone around me gives a funny look  :o
