Beach fleas, also known as sandhoppers or amphipods, play a role in the ecosystem but are not traditional decomposers. They primarily feed on detritus, algae, and decaying organic matter, helping to break down these materials and recycle nutrients. While they contribute to the decomposition process indirectly by consuming and processing organic matter, their primary role is that of a scavenger rather than a true decomposer like bacteria or fungi.
