I would give it a good rinse at the least. Does it sink? Did it come from the aquarium section?

I let mine sit in a bucket of hot water overnight to try and get the tanning or stain out then i usually give it a good rinse with boling water to sterilize it.
I would do something like that or give it a rinse just for peace of mind.

I have rinsed mine with boling water in the past and also soaked it for several days in a bucket to leech out the tannins. But some folks like that black water look. I would just make sure it's clean and well soaked so that it sinks before putting it in.

Ill get some pics up in a bit.
