A crustacean is considered a consumer because it obtains its energy and nutrients by feeding on other organisms, such as plants, algae, or smaller animals. As part of the food web, crustaceans play a crucial role in aquatic ecosystems, often serving as both predators and prey. By consuming organic matter, they help recycle nutrients and maintain ecological balance.

A tryanchela, also known as a triops, is a type of crustacean that primarily feeds on detritus, algae, and small microorganisms. As such, it functions as a consumer in its ecosystem, specifically as a detritivore. It does not produce its own food through photosynthesis, which is characteristic of producers. Therefore, a tryanchela is classified as a consumer.
