feeding sun coral tuna.. .good idea?

[carpus]

usually i feed my sun coral mysis and some flake food. and its doing well. skinning over from a period of starvation. but the fish always eat from it and the hermits jump all over it. it ****es me off. So I fed it tuna once and it ate it. on the can, it said the tuna was from tonga and the onlything in the can was saltwater and tuna.


the fish dont eat the tuna, which is good.
opinions?

Hum. I would personaly not do it myself but if it is just tuna and saltwater I don't see what would be harmful. I know it is cooked already.

well thats wat i thoguht but i dunno. if the fish dont eat it... i dunno if the sun coral will fully eat it or just spit it out. BUT then again its realli meaty, and sun corals need meat

I feed mine salmon I buy from the market, no ill effects yet.

ah cool. does it matter if the meat is cooked or not? the water temp is like 80 in the reef environment. thats hot enough to slowly cook fish meat in the wild

At the very least Id rinse it. Soaking in the can water its gotta be pretty rich I'd think. That goes with any meaty foods I put in though, after reading Calfo's book ,it made all my mistakes make perfect sence regarding packing water and unwanted algaes. On another note though,sharks feed the reef with all kinds of fish meats, I know salmon and I wouldnt doubt tuna either, but not positive.
