If the crew is added before fish, what will they clean-up? Would it be a drastic mistake to add a couple of perc. clowns prior to adding the clean-up (once a gain a 46 gallon bow front with a few lbs of live rock).

I am at the beach this week, and my daughter found an interesting rock that looks like a broken piece of reef. Can I take this home and use it in my aquarium? Do I need to boil it first?

My 46-bowfront is finishing up its cycle (a few pounds of live rock and some lace rock in there). I started the cycle with a cocktail shrimp. I want to add the first fish soon. Should I begin adding the clean-up crew before, during, or after the addition of the fish. I was planning on adding...
