Most algae wafers barely have any algae in them anyway. Actually, for the pleco's sake, you may want to check and see if spirunlina is the first ingredient in the wafer. If not, you may want to switch brands.
Anyway, the algae is used as a food supplement by humans (check your local health food store) so it might even be good for the turtle. But at least it't not bad.
