Cuttlefish Bone For Shimp / Snails?

[pippoodle]

I've recently been adding small bits of cuttlefish to my 2 tanks and the snails and shrimps enjoy munching on it , i read somewhere on the net it was ok but i can't find the link again
Is this really ok for them ???

Thanks Sarah xx

I did this also when i bred apple snails, im not sure it actually makes a lot of difference, adding kent calcuim is much better, or crushed coral in your filter. di
