Feeding question.

[251924]

So i live on a lagoon, and have my sport fisher docked. I have a cast net and can net hundreds of peanut bunker in 1 good throw standing in the back of the boat.
I normally salt and vacuum pack the peanut bunker for bait when fishing offshore etc. Anyway i've been storing some of the peanut bunker
without salting it and feeding the tank with it. My serpent stars, pithos crab and emerald crab all seem to enjoy the bunker meat. Hell even the cleaner shrimp
seems to like the bunker. Is there any harm feeding the tank with this? I mean other than the pithos wanting to eat the bunker and not do his job that is.
Also since some corals will take meaty meals can i feed them this bunker as well? Just trying to find a use for the free food for them. I'm sure my maxi-mini would
like them after it got banished to the sump after it almost got one of my wrasses.

I see no harm in it. I'd be careful of possibly introducing parasites or pathogens, but freezing will take care of that.

Alright thanks. I tend to think im helping the neighbors by netting all these peanut bunker. Great for bait and making chum with. The problem is they flood the lagoons this time of the year and drain the local O2 levels in the lagoon channels and hundreds of thousands of them end up dead floating and that smell, man that smell. Happens every year to a neighboring lagoon channel. Since there is no harm in feeding the tank with them I may increase my nettting efforts. If It wasnt for the blue light I would film when one of the crabs takes the bunker and runs off with it like they just won the lottery. Should make the maxi happy too i guess, it can have all the fish it wants.
