Dear Amanda:
Okay, that should be fine. As long as it was a only small rock and it was only immersed in tap water for just be couple of seconds, it should be good is new now that you have debugged it. The beneficial bacteria that populate the porous interior of the live rock and carry out nitrification and denitrification in the aquarium probably weren’t affected to any significant degree by a quick rinse like that.
The Bristleworm FactSheet & FAQs is on its way to you right now.
Best of luck thinning out your population of prickly pests, Amanda!
Happy Trails!
