once you boil the rock you will have killed everything on it. Any dead bits that are still attached will decay and contribute to any nitrate spike you might see as well as add nutrients to the water. I would suggest boiling it and then "cycling it" in saltwater for a length of time just so that it doesn't add anything to your tank.
