Out of curiosity, where did you find it exactly? I'm not sure how to properly clean it myself, I know Dach does.. if anything I'll ask him tomorrow or I'm sure someone here will respond soon.

I'm scared of bleach for aquarium stuff. If the rocks are small enough, just boil them in water. If they're too big for that, try soaking them in a vinegar/water solution; make sure to rinse them a lot after that though. Hydrogen peroxide works well too. Boiling is the easiest though IMO.
