Ulva Lactuca or often called Sea Lettuce is a very palatable macroalgae which makes it a great natural food source for herbivore fishes like Tang & Foxface.
Personally, I grow this in a 'mushroom' basket at the surface of my display tank under high lighting and strong flow. This has seen very fast growth, and I now attach pieces to a seaweed clip to allow my Tangs to nibble on it throughout the day (see photo 3).
This macroalgae has a high nutrient uptake, so if your nitrate and phosphate levels are minimal, then the chances are that this macroalgae won't fair well and I wouldn't recommend it.
Some fish such as Tangs and Butterfly fish as well as others, will make short work of this as they have a huge appetite for veggies. Recommended to know your tank inhabitants before purchasing.
Macroalgae should be acclimatised in the same way as you would with fish and corals.
