Seaweed for tangs

I want to know if i can just grab some seaweed from the ocean and feed it to my tangs, is the quality of seaweed good enough for them?

 

i would be worried about possiblecontamination if close to the shore line however i dont see a problem with it. I would however wait for someone smatter to chime in

 

Nori is very cheap, I dont see why anyone would want to take that kind of risk over a few dollars saved. If your having a hard time finding the dried sheets, Nori Dried Natural Seaweed 100 Shts Fish Food Aquarium - eBay (item 250487708580 end time Sep-23-09 16:16:54 PDT)

I would not use the seaweed - who knows what is in it. Anything from chemical contaminants to biological pests. +1 on the dried nori sheets - quite in-expensive.

 

I also wouldnt risk it as you can find Nori at your local grocery store in the Asian food aisle. I hope that is politically correct.

 

yea i agree dont risk it not worth it
