Yes, you may get a small diatom stage on the new rocks (as well as a small dino stage) also check your po4 every few days for a month. My caribsea have consistently absorbed po4 out of my system for a while.

They are coated with a bacteria that activates in water, when I last spoke to someone at caribsea they recommended adding straight to a system. No idea if that's a real thing or just marketing junk but either way I have never had issues adding to an established reef.
