    NOT LIVE ROCK

    if you going to use it for decoration only u can.there probably isn't anything alive in it.i would soak it in a highly deluted bucket of hot water w/bleach for about 1/2 hour or so then rise real weel with fresh water before putting it in your tank.i've done this a number of times.
