Noob cleaning live rock

[fotuskyt]

For those who don’t know, I recently got someone else’s established 20gal set up with two clowns and a blenny as a complete beginner. This forum has been a godsend and I appreciate you guys so much. Now for todays question: how do I clean these rocks? Will scrubbing with a toothbrush in clean salt water suffice? Also is this considered the “uglies”?? I’m still learning about algae so bare with me

Side note: turned off powerhead just for the sake of the picture!

You can turkey blaster the rocks to “clean them”. Otherwise your CUC would be cleaning the rocks and sand for you

You can brush them in salt water or even in the tank. But to be honest tho they don't really look bad to me.
