If chemicals did spill on the rocks boiling will do nothing. Boiling will only kill anything live on the rocks. The porous structure of the rocks will have sucked the chems right in similar to how contact with copper medication can permanently render live rock deadly to invertebrates.

Well that blows they are really cool shapes... i suppose i can gamble and put it in with the curing rocks and see what happens.
I am trying the relatively new process of "cooking" the rocks where you put them in a dark place with a heater and powerhead doing a 100% water change every week for 8 months so there is no algae and the bacteria burrows into deeper into the rock. Its been a month so far and you should see the gunk that is in the bottom of the bucket every week.
