I only use seaweed selects.
So long as there are no additives, you will be fine.

Not sure if it's the same, but I buy my Nori from the grocery store.

I apoligize for my ignorance but what is Nori Seaweed? It sounds like what Sushi is wrapped in.

Exactly.

Yep, I use the Sushi wrap nori also. It comes with about 10x's the amount and for half the price. Just like you guys said, get it in the Asian section by the Soy sauces in most grocery stores.

Most-any fish that enjoy algae in their diet love it. It is just dried seaweed. Rehydrates when you place it in the tank. If your fish are not used to it only add a little at a time. It can get messy if your fish don't eat it all. Once they try it, they will love it!!

By mistake, I used the seasoned Nori for about 6 months before switching to unseasoned Nori. The seasoning ingredients are sesame oil and soy sauce. I am not sure what affects sesame oil or soy sauce have on marine livestock. All my livestock seemed to be doing fine.
Now I use unseasoned Nori. Everyone (Tangs, Chromis, Clown, Goby) in my tank loves Nori.
I've also found fresh (not dried) Nori packaged in salt kept in the fridge section. Anyone use that?

My Japanese roommate ate my seaweed selects one afternoon and said he thought it was people food. Then he went and bought this huge package of nori from an asian market. He said it was the exact same thing, the fish seem to like it either way
After he moved into my apartment he looked at my aquarium and asked "are these fish for eating?" Luckily all my fish have survived.

used it for years...no problems.
