Re: Is this sea weed safe?
It might be safe. There's no way to know until you actually let them try some. However, it mentions seasoning, but in the ingredients, it doesn't list any seasoning...

Re: Is this sea weed safe?
It sounds safe to me. Their "seasoning" might be the olive oil and salt. Is this stuff cheaper than the seaweed you can get at the pet food store? I mean, if you like to eat it, then great! it's good for you. But if you want to find something just for feeding your crabs I'd stick to the pet store stuff, since it's probably not cooked so that all the enzymes are killed in it.

Emergency seaweed hehe
I have been fortunate to find spirulina powder and kelp granules for sale in the bulk foods area of the natural foods section of my local grocery store. It is VERY cheap when purchased this way.
