I would not rinse it. Just let it do it's thing during the curing process.

Since it is uncured, there will be more die-off. I would get a bucket of SW and swish the rock around for a bit to get some of the "junk" off of there. Pull off any obviously dead material while you are at it. I would probably do this a few times over the next 2 weeks (along with some water changes!)

Is there anything else in your tank? If so you should consider "curing" your new rock in a seperate area such as a plastic trash can. If you do rinse the rock, use salt water!

Yeah i would suggest rinsing it, I just bought some live rock and it looked good but stuck it in without rinsing anything and it shot my nitrates and levels up
