If you're planning on re using the rock I'd recommend drying it out completely before placing it in your tank. Aptasia is very hardy and will probably survive a short freshwater dip.

The prevailing theme for what I had read on other forums was to make any parasites drop off as the acidic dip would shock them into releasing

As to the rock it is sitting in fresh water for a few days then will get a thorough drying before being introduced into the tank
