Default Driftwood in Marine Aq.?

First off... I'm still a newbie... So new that these will be the first pics of my tank that I post... So the general stuff: 37/39 gallon tank (my wife and I argue over this constantly... I say 39...) fish only, with 10 red-legged hermit crabs... coral substrate, with three pieces of tufa rock a fake plant (the goby loves it) and, the newest addition, an approx. 2 foot section of driftwood... Two false clowns, a yellow goby, a green chromis, and a wrasse of questionable type... Now, when I bought the driftwood, thinking "Hey! That'd be a cool addition, and I'm sure the fish will love darting around it!" I made sure to ask the cashier at the store if it was kosher for a marine environment.... She said it would be fine, and it is distributed by the same co as the tufa rock... I soaked it for a few hours before adding it three days ago, and haven't had a problem. Today I read that wood is only suitable to fresh and brackish... Am I slowly killing my fish with this addition?
