Definately not freshwater.
You don't need to do anything unless there is alot of die off on it. If there is get some saltwater and rinse in it and you can take a brush and brush it off in the saltwater before putting it in your tank.
If you use freshwater you will kill everything that makes it 8 dollar a pound rock.
