Question about moss

I just bought some moss at Wally World and it says "Natural Floral Moss" ... everything else was Spanish which for some reason I recall reading was not good so I passed all that up. This stuff looks like most I see in pictures ... and I plan to soak it in hot salt water then wave it for a bit ... but mostly wanted to know if this moss was alright?

Yeah it wasn't/isn't dyed, smells really earthy ... doesn't smell NEAR as strong now thankgoodness that was awful lol. I'm not the outdoorsy type ;) And they have been really enjoying it so far, finally one of them is hanging out in the net moss pit and I think one just dug under the moss area where the shells are :) I have a hemp net on order and i'm getting a sample of moss with that so I'll probably switch it out for that cause I believe it's the hiawatha moss.

Is it spanish moss? Pics please. If it is spanish moss, it could kill your crabs.
