Can I take out every zoanthid covered rock and dip it?

I have recently discovered an explosion of hitchhikers good and bad mostly good. The one bad one I'm worried about is the Zoa eating nudibranch, but there could be others I don't know for sure. What I want to do is take the rocks out and dip them all at he same time in two 5 gallon buckets then put them all back. Can I do this safely with out messing with the balance of my tank? I have a 28 gallon nano cube. Getting another fish to eat things is not the way I want to do it I already have 3 fish and another would be too much. I have 2 clown fish and a watchman goby and a bunch of different zoas and a few brain and mushroom corals as well.

Be sure to rinse them in clean saltwater before you put them back in the tank to get the dip off.
