I can re[QUOTE=tmz;25 Animal blood may be of some use but whether everything in it is useful is questionable.;certainly not a natural food to salt water animals.[/QUOTE]
Marine leeches, lamprey, molluscs, Sharks, Ray's, copepods, isopods, polychaete worms..all contain quite a few hematophagic species All outside of hobbyist tanks Thankfully |

Robert Buck's Reefriends
June 23 at 8:16am · Sliced my finger last night while I was cooking dinner. Do I run for the medicine cabinet as the blood runs down my hand? No, I run to my tank and let the blood run into it for a good 2 minutes. My wife thinks I'm nuts but my corals love me! The polyp extension is incredible today, especially with my non photosynthetics. #HappyCorals �� |

Definitely not wise to submerge a cut in our reefs, like others said, it can lead to a nasty infection.
However, I agree that it can act as a feed. I remember reading in Daniel Knops' The Care and Breeding of Tridacnids book that blood cells are the perfect size for clams filter feeding, I'm sure it's the same for so.e corals too. I admit, after accidently cutting myself in the kitchen, I held my hand OVER my tank and let some blood drip in, noticed a positive feeding response from some corals. Just be careful
