To thrive in this game as a forager you must survive the initial predators. One way to do this is to breed faster than they can eat you. Another way is to use armor or another defense.
Random guy in NY took a third route. He created the First Round Predator Distractor, a cheap species with almost zero nutrition and exactly zero chance of survival that kept the predators in check for a single round.

At first the defenseless foragers thrive. Increasingly large carnivores’s populations grow and crash.

Random guy in NY
By Round 100, all that is left are the invincible foragers with maxed-out defense. However, this time there are two niches: one Flesh-Eating Clam 2, which specializes in carrion, and another for Super-Armor Fish, which eats algae too.
Generations 101-9000
Alas, the Super-Armor Fish’s ability to digest Algae lets it eventually outcompete the Flesh-Eating Clam2. A Soonbegon wanders in from time to time from to eat the accumulated Detritus.
Winners
Technically the Soonbegon doesn’t survive forever (it goes extinct sometime before generation 10,000) but it survived long enough and interestingly enough I’m going to bend the rules and give it credit anyway.
