As far as critters go (and I apologize for getting slightly off topic here) it may be prudent to isolate your TBS rock in the sump and observe it for unwanted pests. Then later on add to display.

@Lasse said this earlier this morning on a post about
fish slime & natural immunity:
“This has been known for a long time but we seldom think about it in this way. This is one of the reasons - IMO - why fish in newly started aquariums have a tendency to be susceptible to disease compared to older, more mature aquariums. In new aquarium the water is more "aggressive" against the mucus coat because the lack of biological molecules and colloidal organic particles in the water - IMO. A disease to me is the situation where a pathogenic microorganism is not controlled either internally or externally. The presence of a pathogen is a prerequisite for a disease, but its presence does not automatically mean that a disease will break out.”
