Live rock

Have several pounds of lr rubble I'm going to use instead of bio balls tonight. I got the lr a few weeks ago when I bought it I brought it home in a bag covered n wet newspaper. I put it in a 5 gal bucket with some tank water from a pwc with a htr, and powerhead. I'm going to look the rock over really good before putting in wet/dry sump tonight. My question is: can hitchhikers, or aiptasia enter my dt from water being pumped back into tank from trickling over lr in sump? Thanks
Kevin

Not out of water. It retracts when not in SW feeling comfortable.

Look your bucket over very well, but for the most part it is a risk that you will have to take
