my tank has been running for about 2 months give or take a few days, and so far it contains 2 cleaner shrimp, a brittle star, and 3 turbo snails. its 45 gallons and its cycled and has lots of little white copepods? or amphipods? all over the glass. ( there white, with little tiny tails and scurry around the glass) is it necessary to cure my rock as long as i would if there was fish in there? could i just scrub it off ,and wash it and put it in, or is it necessary to cure it a full 3 or so weeks. i currently have 20 lbs in there and im hoping to add another 10 lbs. would i have to cure this all ?

I would say yes you need to still cure it in another container. The ammonia spike might kill the inverts.
