Why are you using saltwater?

I want to know what crashed the tank? That'd be my concern...

He said there were corals remaining in it, sounds like "natural" causes.

I'd "cook" it, if by "cook" you mean flushing it in a tub for several weeks while doing 100% water changes.

I wouldn't. If it was me, I'd either toss the rock or throw it through a bleach/acid wash.

CONTEXTUALLY - the assumption I made was that OP wanted to keep rock "live".

I would have to agree with Albert that contextually it also sounded like OP wanted to use the rock in his existing tank which using SW would make sense if you wanted to concurrently achieve multiple goals.

I don't know that I would take the risk from a crashed tank but yeah, it wouldn't be as relevant if it's going into a new tank and you can just acid/bleach it for the most straightforward result.
