    Okay... so i ordered some LR from Sunpet.com from my LFS I was looking at it some and there seems to be some Pink fungus on it along with some Black / Brown sponge type things all over it. Ill Post some Pictures in a minute so i thought i would at least try to Cure it before adding it to my 5 gallon even tho the tank is a couple of months old. i have my CUC in there along with some macro algae and some Ulva or sea lettuce. i just got them in today also, via reefcleaners.org now i was wondering if it would be Safe to add it to my tank or should i try to cure it first? or would i be able to do a nice dunk and scrub cleaning to it. and then add to tank?

    I agree with ingtar scrub off the black and don't worry about the pink.
