What's on my rocks?

[cliffclaven]

So about 2 weeks ago I bought over 150lbs of "base rock" I'm guessing Reef saver if not please let me no, but I had to take it out of his set up tank witch had corals, fish and hermits. I also bought about 30lbs of rock from a Lfs that had it dried out in a box out front of the store.

So I got it home and soaked in all in bleach 25:6.5 gallon water to bleach. Today after about 11 days of soaking there's still a bunch of stuff on them almost look like worms or maybe snails and also some brown that I'm not familiar with any help would be great .

Thanks in advance

Also should I just soak them in water now or use vinegar or something else .
Thanks

It’s just old shells and calcium tubes from inverts. It should all be dead. Just naturally becomes part of the rocks.

Not sure what a natural cure is? Just leave them in the sun for a day to get rid of bleach then rinse and sit in RODI maybe?

By natural I just mean saltwater water at 1.025 till there isn't any po4 or nitrate

Yep. I’d still let it sit out to get bleach off then a quick RODI rinse. Then start cycling it with some sort of ammonia source. [emoji1360]

But what about the rock that's real white

I’m not sure. If it as my tank I’d just avoid it. Even if it’s safe it’s going to stand out.
