With the amount of seafood and frozen options out there, not worth it. Tuna is high in fat and oils and your tank will inherit those compounds and disrupt the denitrifying process of filters and anaerobic bacterias

I have fed anemones tuna for 40 years, they love it as I do. In the sea anemones will eat any bits of fish it can get. Of course it would have to be a really big anemone to eat an entire tuna.
Tuna is (as was stated) high in fats and oils which is what fish and anemones need. That is why it is also good for us.

Are we talking fresh tuna or canned? I assume fresh? I see no reason not to. I buy fresh seafood to make food all the time.
Kinda an expensive choice [emoji23] but see no issue if using fresh tuna. If looking from a sustainable point of view look towards domestic yellowfin steaks.
