How to treat macro algae before adding to tank.

[MaxtheCat]

Hello everyone! I just got a bunch of different types of macro for Gulf Coast Ecosystems and I'm wondering how best to treat this now. There are a lot of large bristle worms in some of these bags, mostly dead, and don't want to add more to my tank! Can you freshwater soak them without harming them? Any advice?

yes, freshwater dip will help. It will kill some of the algae. but also will kill most hitchhikers. I will also suggest to put it in a small container with water from your tank, for a week or two. freshwater dip again after that.
