Rotifers are the most versatile live feed that you can add to a marine tank. Some of the most common applications are:

Feeding baby fish, shrimp, seahorses and other larvae
Feeding corals, especially hard corals
Feeding all types of carnivorous filter feeders
Feeding juvenile and adult shellfish

You might want to read up on raising cleaner shrimp. There's a book on Amazon.com; search for "peppermint shrimp" in the title. The bottom line is they won't make it in your tank and they're very hard to raise in general.
