Your right about that, that's why live rocks should NOT be in a hypo tank!!! IF you have a lot of rocks, muliple die offs will spike your ammonia, that'll be the stuffs that kills your fish instead of ich. :happyfish

Depending on when you did it and if you have bring the salinity back up to 1.026 yet. Best to do a 20-25% water change every couple of days as soon as your done with hypo IMO so you won't risk ammonia spike. Some creatures inside may still live, but you can buy a few pieces of live rock and place it with your rocks and bring more life. I wouldn't add anything until everything settles down. Good Luck! :happyfish
