I have a 24 gallon nano cube reef tank with about 20 pounds of live rock and some coral i added to more uncured live rocks to the tank and was about to get a cleaner shrimp today but the LFS said that sence the rock is uncured and has to cycle it wouldnt be a good idea to add anything alive but the same day i purchased the two large pieces of live rock i bought a bubble coral wich seems to be doing good and some other piece of coral i dont know what there called but.
here is a picof them

I can't say if it will be okay, but adding a shrimp or fish is a bit different than adding a sedentary coral.

would it be ok to add a shrimp the rock has been in there for a week and the th new corals are doing good and also i have had fish in a qt tank for 3 weeks today would it be ok to add them back in they seem fine some people say 4 or 5 weeks and also i dont know if i should put them in the tank because of the rock? any ideas

no take them out.....you are going to have an ammonia spike which will damage and possibly kill your corals....no shrimp either until everything is done cycling
