I recently brought home all these thypes of seaweed
Irish Moss (Chondrus crispus)
Nori (Porphyra sp.)
Wakame (Undaria Pinnatifida)
Dulse/Dillisk (Palmaria palmata, Rhodymenia palmata)
Green Seaweed (Ulva lactuca)
Mojaban (Sargassum fulvellum)
Gracilaria parvispora (It looks and feels so fake 0-e)
Bladderwrack (Gracilaria changgi or Fucus vesiculosis)
Which ones are best? I have them in my freezer and I'm going to boil them for the crabbies. Will they actually EAT them? My crabs are very picky with seaweed. I also have this weird pink, thin seaweed. Its just like a flat sheet of slime. 0-e What is it?
Best seaweeds?

Re: Best seaweeds?
Where did you find the fresh seaweed? I am thinking of boiling some of the dried and giving to the crabs.Have you tried dried?

Off of a private beach in Massachusetts. So many kinds here! I was thinking of trying it dried.
