Feed brine shrimp eggs to fish ?

[MadReefer]

I posted for trade decapsulated brine shrimp eggs in hypo solution. Since there are no takers can feed them directly to the tank for the fish? I only have soft corals and not sure target feeding them this is a good idea or not. Any comments appreciated.

I think they are too small for fish.. if anything that feather duster would love them or any filter feeder

You can release the decapsulated cysts directly into your tank; depending on the amount of flow you have, they may hatch, or they may just be sucked in to your filter or skimmer.
If you are keeping the decapusulated brine cysts, I'd suggest hatching it out in batches, a small container with an airstone, and feeding the newly hatched artemia.
Newly hatched artemia are nutritious and your fish should gobble them right up, I know our fish and coral love them.

I agree with Nikki the newly hatched are great for your fish and inverts.Its the older brine that is more like feeding candy...

The problem with unhatched eggs is if they don't stay suspended and fall to the bottom most fish don't seem to want to eat them. Maybe it is the 10 second rule.

Hatch those eggs and the fish love them. Although they may expend more energy catching the bbs than the nourishment that they get out of them
