Detritus is the same as refuse or rubish. Carrion is dead animals that are rotting on the ground.
The difference is that is that detritivore feeds on large parts of decaying plant, animal matter, and on waste material. A decomposer consumes and breaks down dead organisms or waste matter into simple substances. They both get nutrition from dead organic matter. The difference is that detritivores actually eat the organic matter (like earthworms eating their way through the soil) and decomposers secrete enzymes to digest the organic matter and then absorb the resulting molecules (like bacteria or fungi do).
Detritus
One role that detritus play in aquatic ecosystems is that it helps to break down the organic materials that are carried by rivers. Another role is that detritus is a filter of feeders in water and also are food sources for aquatic animals.
If organic detritus was not decomposed then the height of this mass would be enormous and all the useful products tied up is this detritus would not be recycled back into the ecosystem.

Most crabs eat detritus and carrion in the wild. In captivity, feed them regular fish food, supplemented with calcium and other minerals, as well as vegetables.

Usually crabs are omnivorous and opportunistic in their eating habits, taking whatever they can get, shellfish, worms, carrion, smaller arthropods, algae, detritus, etc. Some specialize, for instance, catching fish.
Detritus
Detritus feeders(a.k.a, sapraphages, or ditritivores) ehterotrophs that get nutrients by comsuming detritus**decomposing organic matter**Example___________EarthwormsWoodlice
detritus is formed by microorganisms that are found basically every where
detritus is everywhere. Land,water, and air.
You will be examining the detritus of your homework if you plagiarise your answers.
detritus feeders can not be producers as they feed of the decaying dead living organisms

Disintegrated or eroded matter: the detritus of past civilizations.Accumulated material; debris: "Poems, engravings, press releases-he eagerly scrutinizes the detritus of fame" (Carlin Romano).
