by the way... there's some seaweed on some of my rock too keep it or take that off?

just got my key rock... i'm all paranoid still whether or not to put right into my tank. the vendor says to just throw it in anyways, what's that orange stuff on the rock? is it dead? should i scrub it off? and what is that colorless lumpy thing? it's kind of whitish.
