H ave some questions for those that know about curing live rock. I have mostly bought live rock that was in an established tank already, so I am somewhat unsure about curing it myself. Also, the couple times I have cured it, was just in a rubber bin with a power head.

Questions are:

whats the easiest way to rid of possible mantis shrimp and unwanted hitchhikers?

Is curing the rock in a new tank set-up without live stock ok?

Anyone had any good experiences with live rock ordered online, as this is the way I will have to be getting mine.

Any other opinions of advice would be great!
