I've boiled lots of live rock and have had no problems at all. I just let it sit (cook) in RO water afterwards. I just did'nt put it all in at once. Every two weeks I would grab a peice and rinse it really good with RO water and put it in the tank and do so every two weeks until all the rock was back in. No problems and within a month the rock is once again full of life.

This thread actually got me thinking about BBQing live rock actually. Probably less messy, smelly and easy cleanup?

I just bleached a bunch of rock... never looked cleaner.. no biological content left in it.. i rinsed out and let it dry out in the sun for a couple days then added it to a new tank with a couple good live pieces... the rocks are crawling pods and feather dusters are starting to grow.. no ill effects
