Best Answer

yes.

"Sometimes live rock is inhabited by nasty critters that can chew on coral or even kill fish. To prevent these creatures from getting into your aquarium, you can dip the live rock in high salinity water or freshwater. After dipping, the organisms will likely flee the rock and enter the water, where they can be sorted and you can add what you want to the aquarium. Mantis shrimp and certain crabs are the most frequent aquarium pests, so be on the lookout for these particularly."
