Just keep in mind that anything that you kill in the rock, will eventually rot in you tank unless you cook it. (not in the oven)

Personally, I would love to buy rock covered in bristleworms!! Absolutely not pests in my books. And a little aiptaisia is nothing a filefish wouldn't cleanup in a few days.

I would not kill the live rock because that defeats the purpose of having live rock.
I would kill the aiptasia as earlier posted than add it to your tank and add a peppermint shrimp to devour any that you have missed.
Slowly acclimate the peppermint.
Bristtleworms are good guys. They eat detritous, excess food and their eggs and offspring provide food for you coral.

Alright I will inspect and kill as much aptasia I can, place in tote with heater and powerhead and reinspect in a week before putting in my display tank. I understand worms can be good... but seriously I am talking hundreds if not thousands on just 25 lb of rock...
