Beach Shrimp as Food

[Moose10]

I probably should have asked this question before dumping 100 in my tank but to late.

Can I feed the small clear shrimp you find at the beach in tide pools to my fish?
Will they eat coral or cause any other issues?

I've done it before and my fish devour them

It was absolutely amazing even with the lights out, the Anthias and clowns went crazy for them

I’ve seen people use tide pool shrimp as feeders, but it can be hit or miss depending on what else they bring into the tank. Some might carry parasites or nibble on soft corals if they get hungry. Personally, I like the idea of offering variety kind of like how checking out the chop chop sushi meny gives you a mix of options, it’s good to balance what your fish get too.
