Just a note of follow-up on this post, if that is alright:
My experience has shown recently that macroalgae does indeed need to be quarantined. A recently received ball of chaetomorpha was the cause of death by way of amyloodinium for my beloved blue spotted jawfish.
I am now fallow, treating my black and regular occellaris clownfish, and my scissorstail dartfish in a QT. Presently, I am treating them with Chloroquine and will try Hydrogen Peroxide in the next few days if conditions do not improve. I am also running UV on the display while it is fallow.
I can't tell you how much it broke my heart to have a $5 ball of chaeto introduce such devistation on my tank, and kill my beloved and most pricey fish in less than a few days. It was devistating, and the death was not pretty.
QT anything wet.
