 Re: Live Rock Cleaning Questions?!
Sorry about your loss. How soon do you plan on setting up a new tank? You would want to keep the rock as alive as you can if you will be doing it soon? If not you may just want to sell the rock locally and buy new when you start over. To clean the rock I would just take it out piece by piece and scrub it with a new tooth brush. You could boil it if you are sure everything is dead, but that would be a long process depending on how much rock you have. The rock is composed of calcium, and is about like a bone so storage should not affect it. The worms are more than likely bristle worms, but would have to see a pic to make a positive id. Go to Google and search the pics section and look and see if that is what you have. If you have a ton of them you just might consider having a fish that eats them next time to avoid over population.
