Question Does this "Ruble Zone" rock need to cure?

I'm setting up a 75g tank with refugium. I bought this case of rubble to put in the refugium. Do I need to cure this stuff first? If so, how should I go about it?

It is just dead or dry rock. It doesn't need to cure as there is nothing alive on it. It will take some time to become live, but feel free to add corals to it immediatley.

Thank you! I'm a n00b on this stuff and am not familiar with the curing process and what rocks to cure. I don't have anything in my tank yet except arag alive sand and these rocks in my refugium. I'm going to let my water clear and stabilize before I add any thing. I'm in no rush.

Just a good rinsing in RO/DI should be sufficient.
