THAT is a pest anemone. If you didn't put the weed in the tank yet I would encourage you to throw it out. Those things spread quickly and are difficult to get rid of. They reproduce from tiny fragments and that weed is contaminated.

I didn’t put it in yet ! someone on reddit said I could rinse the ulva with aquarium water and make sure there’s none on it and introduce it. but you say to throw the whole macro out ? i’m not sure what to do, I don’t want my money to be wasted or the macro to just have to be thrown out :(

I'd ask for my money back... who was the seller?
 
Little update ! the seller was Corals Anonymous and they refuse to give me a refund or replacement or any help at all really. DO NOT recommend buying from them as they were very unprofessional in handling my complaint and questions :(
