Nitrite From A New Rock?

Hi guys and thanks for your previous help. I just added one piece of 18 lb live rock to my tank and I noticed a few small little green weed looking algaes on it. I didn’t think much of it but then upon doing research I thought maybe the piece I bought wasn’t cured yet. I have about 12 lbs before that and I have been gradually adding it. I have about 5 fish some small crustaceans and one bubble tip. I tested my nitrites and noticed just a trace amount of nitrite. I would guess .01. Just a hint of red. Is it possible that an 18 lb piece of live rock could give me that much nitrite in a 55 gallon tank with about 12 lbs already in there.
