I was heeding some advice to not purchase macro algae from fellow reefers since it might contain pests, etc, so I went to a LFS which claim that their macro algae are free from pests, etc.
Got it home, put it into a quarantine tank and dose a bit of Revive, and in less than a minute out dropped some bristle worms, etc.
Anyhow, theme to this message is don't trust what you're told, and do what you can to assume the worst and take measures to resolve it - as in this case, I assumed that the macro algae would be with pests and I did the quarantine, and cleaning procedure.
Moving forward if I ever need more macro algae, rather than paying 2x or 3x the price, I'll just pick up some from local reefers.
