I'm loath to destroy any life that I might find interesting at a later date.
So.... I dip all of my rock in club soda brought to a salinity of 35ppt at 80F. The PH is way off, so be sure to rescue any animals from the bottom of the bucket quickly.
I found that most of the crabs and shrimp bailed out immediately.
