No, xenids are completely autotrophic. They have no digestive capability.

well they do absorb some stuff out of the water, so in a way i guess they could be considered filter feeders....but not in the sense of taking actual particles out of the water. But they can help remove nitrates and/or phosphates so-i've-heard.... I know a few people that put them in their sump/fuge and use them as a sort of filter. I vote yes, they are a filter feeder, but nothing like a clam or anything else. You'd have to have TONS for it to actually do anything IMO...but then again, the people who have it in their sump do have a ton of it.
