Adding new live rock question

[my2rotties]

My knowledge is not that big with this... however if it were my rock, I would rather wash it under super hot water and let it cure. It defeats the entire point of having live rock if you let it dry. I would also be worried that once it is in water again, perhaps the bubble algae and aiptasia had spores or something of the sort, come back to life in water...

Don't take my word for it, but it is just how I think...
