Yes, don't boil them. When I refer to "boiling" rock, I'm referring to a process of treating the rock with an acid followed by multiple rinses. The palytoxins and other bad things can be released into the air when actually heating the rock to boiling temperatures and inhalation can cause severe respiratory distress and possibly worse depending on what you are allergic to. When it comes to sea creatures, you don't know what you're allergic to until it is possibly too late! DO NOT RISK IT!

Do you have calupra in your fuge by any chance, could be some washed out macro algae growth?
I would remove it as it may be unwanted macroalgae. It can discolor when left out of the light and is quite invasive in display tanks if it takes hold. Calupra clings to rocks with root like appendages and is very difficult to remove once established.

I just removed a plug with about 30 heads of green bay packer zoas with 1 aiptasia on it. I couldn't get to the aiptasia where it was at and wasn't going to mess with cutting around it. I've had an outbreak with in an old tank and the nudibranches worked well, but I am avoiding it at all costs! The price we pay to keep nuisance out!
