You will be surprised at how quickly the shrimp eat the stuff. If you are worried buy to but remember to acclimate them for two hours.

The problem with the torch is you will also kill the good stuff near the aptasia and the good stuff inside the rock itself.
You will also leave a residue from the blowtorch gases on the rock.
