Buying Live Rock

What is the best way to prevent unwanted hitch hikers into your tank that come on shipped live rock?

May be a stupid question, but I'd rather ask it and get it done right than try to figure it out on my own and regret it later.

Thanks in advance

get some base rock and you will not have to worry about it if you have a local club you can get a few pieces from one of the members i bet to seed the rock .

Not a dumb question, but don't know that there is a way, to be perfectly honest. many hitch hikers don't even show themselves for months. the only solution that comes to mind is to persuade a fellow reefer to sell you rock that's been in their system for a couple years or more, and use that to seed dry rock.
