even when it's been at the lfs for a long time, I like to always play it safe and dump it in a bucket or tote or spare tank with water, an airline and a heater for a couple weeks. Even if it's already been cured, it gives me a chance to closely observe the rock and look for unwanted critters like eunicid worms, mantis shrimp, and the various anemones/hdroids, etc. Obviously if it's in a spare tank it makes that job easier.
