please help with LR!

I picked up some LR from an LSF, they say it is cured but there is a lot of veagitation on it. Should I scrub this off? And if so what is the best way?

Just because it has vegetation (macroalgae) does not mean it is not cured.

You can scrub it with a regular plastic brush.

I would smell the rock and see if it was cured or not. If the rock is not cured, it will smell foul. If the rock is cured, it will smell like nothing.

the rock does not smell, it just has a lot of stuff on it that blows off it when the water flow hits it. If you say it should be okay, I will leave it be.

If it smells fine, then I'd leave the stuff on it.
