I think an occasional blast from a baster is all that is needed.
After years I have found many neat critters appear on my rocks that scrubbing would or most likely have prevented never then from showing up...Many Sponges, Palys Zoas, Dusters and such.....
I would never think of scrubbing my rocks once the tank was established.
Here are a few shots from the past (taken over the years )of those pretty Sponges Cloves, Dusters and the such showing up in a spots not seeded or planted on.
Scrubbing would have prevented them "taking seed" ........Good Luck Reefing....Warren

Why would you scrub your rock?
The idea is to get life to grow on it. A cleanup crew would starve if you have no growth.

Hey Joe, Yea I had read the article in your post.........Good info. I just posted shots of black stuff I had a fight with a couple of years back on that thread.............
If you where looking at my bottom shot thinking there was some or the same stuff there, I think the odd colors are all Sponge. Anytime I see black in my tank Ian suspect after the bout with "Black Stuff" a couple of years back. That is a rock that was recently turned around and that side had been in partial darkness for the last year or so. Thanks............ Warren
