breaking it down to make food
Nothing, without light for photosynthesis, the kelp will die.
Kelp use blades for photosynthesis, where they turn sunlight into food.
animals eat off of it
Yes.
Toward the end of the dive we went through a kelp forest.
Kelp is an autotroph, or a producer (they mean the same thing). This means that kelp produces its own food via photosynthesis. This is why it remains in areas where light penetrates the water easily. In other words, kelp does not prey on anything. On the other hand, if you are inquiring about what eats kelp, then you are looking for sea urchins, kelp's main predator.

Yes, but it has been shown that continuous use of kelp is good for an over-active thyroid. So, it is recommended to use kelp to get the iodine, but keeping track of your symptoms to see if they have receded.

clean warm..... and light
Kelp plants, like many photosynthetic organisms, contain pigments that absorb specific wavelengths of light for photosynthesis. Blue and red wavelengths are efficiently absorbed by these pigments, providing the energy needed for the photosynthetic process. In contrast, green wavelengths are mostly reflected rather than absorbed, which is why kelp appears green to our eyes. This selective absorption allows kelp to maximize energy capture from the light spectrum available in its environment.
They can cause problems for the kelp by sticking to it and feeding off there energy source. Also by not letting go and causing the kelp to sink to the bottom and not get the sun light it needs.
