Brine eggs in tank

OK tell me if I am just not thinking, but be nice about it.
Why can't you take 90% hatch rate and put some eggs of brine shrimp into your tankto hatch. The salinity should work and it would be goodfor the fish and corals. Is there something here I am just not seeing??Well i put a little in my system just to see what would happen, so I hope nobody comes back saying they did the same thing and their tank crashed or something.
Any thoughts please feel free.
Thanks,

I think the shells from the cysts are not good for the fish to eat is what I've heard before.

You can get an in tank hatcher to sit in your tank and the shrimp will make their way into the tank over several days. Got mine from J&L .

Do the brine live in the tank if there were no fish to eat them. Was wondering how they would do in a frag tank with softies?
Thanks for the reply.

You'd have to have very small food for them to eat I suppose.
