Omnivores (from Latin: omne all, everything; vorare to devour) are species that eat both plants and animals as their primary food source. They are opportunistic, general feeders not specifically adapted to eat and digest either meat or plant material exclusively.

Salt water crabs-they consume seaweed and small marine vertebrate (minnow, shrimp, etc)
Salt water lobster too eats the same as the crab.
Sea otter eats urchin and seaweed as well.
Sea turtles eats algae and jellyfish too.
There may be others, try searching on the website for varieties. Who knows maybe you'll stumble across more than we realize.
