What are these white hairs on the Wakame seaweed?

https://imgur.com/a/44U9XN6

So today, after boiling some wakame seaweed for a few minutes, I noticed these white hair like structures on the seaweed--They are almost like leeches, since one end of the hair is attached to the seaweed, while the rest can move freely based on the flow of water around it.

It is quite a sight and I definitely lost my appetite... Anyone have any idea what this is?

Need help identifying these.

I've been reading about Irish Sea Moss lately and live in Nova Scotia, so I went to the beach today to see what I could find. Grabbed a few samples but I'm not totally sure how to tell what is what just yet.

Why dried Gracilaria has different colours despite being of the same genus and species as below? Some are light yellow while others are dark rust/blackish almost. Does it affect the quality or chemical components of the seaweed?

Anyone know what this is?

It's a pink flower looking thing growing on seaweed which is growing on a pontoon and excuse the language, kind of looks like a wrinkly ballsack. I know nothing about things that grow/ live in the sea but last I was aware seaweed didn't grow flowers... I'm curious. Also if it helps anyone who might have some sort of idea, this is in New Zealand

I want to try to spore and grow seaweed at home, what equipment do I need?

Hey all, I am new to the hobby and would like some pointers. I am interested in a project and trying to spore and grow wild seaweed in a tank at home. Mainly ulva species. I am not sure what sort of equipment I would need.

The list I have right now consists of:
-tank
-aerator
-chiller/temp control
-lighting

If anyone has any experience with seaweeds I would love to have some advice on a basic setup as I am pretty new to aquaculture.

Any guides or literature would be a great help too! Thanks all

Roasting seaweed chips to make them better?

I was wondering if it's possible to refry seaweed chips? I kinda like them as they are, but the glossy taste and lack of crisp/crunchiness is unfortunate. I'd also like more salt. I was wondering if you guys think it would work to put them in the oven like I do with making baked potato chips, adding some olive oil and salt. I would try it before asking but I ate them all.

How to make Nori sheets at home?

I got my hands on some really healthy and fresh ulva. I have dried it to use later. Can anyone give me a recipe on how to use it. Is it possible to make Nori sheets from it at home?

Where to buy kelp to grow at home

Hey everyone, I’m new to this community but I was wondering how I would go about purchasing kelp to start growing my own kelp at home. I’ve done all of the other research on how to grow it, etc. but I simply can’t find somewhere to buy kelp that I can introduce to my aquatic environment to grow at home. Any help is greatly appreciated!

I recently ordered jarred sea moss gel from Amazon and did not put it in the refrigerator right away It has been unopened in a styrofoam container and when I open the jar and read the temperature it says it was at 67° F If it is unopened is it still safe to use?
