I have boiled the rock before with hydroids and the hydroids came back. I strongly suggest just to get rid of the rock all together. Get another one without the pest.

Fumes that can get you sick, if there are any pallies on the rock and you literally cook them, they will release toxin that can kill you. Rocks can shatter and explode if boiled and so on.

Please never never never actually cook and boil rocks.
