Sorry, had to put this in for the guy with the sponges/coral question. I am fairly new, but that sounds like a big waste. Now granted, I've only got an itty bitty 8 gal biocube. First day I brought it home, I had bought LR, small crushed coral sand, even the water premixed. I also bought a fist sized piece they called a mushroom rock. It had mushrooms, tiny feather dusters among other things growing on it. Specifically I asked several times at the LFS if it would be ok in my just setup tank and they said yes. Believe it or not, for once they were right. For when I got home, I set everything up and acclimated the LR and mushroom rock. The tank has been going great for a month and a half, no problem with the corals. So Good Luck, hope yours do well.

This is a very old thread, so I think the original issue is long past.
The original poster was talking about newly collected live rock. This tends to have a lot of sponges on it. To properly transfer a sponge, it must be kept underwater the entire time and never exposed to air. Once exposed to air, many sponges tend to trap air bubbles that they can not expel. This usually kills them.
In setting up your own tank, you were extremely lucky. You got live rock that was completely cured, or almost completely cured. In this case, all the die off associated with newly collected live rock had occurred. Had this not been the case, you would have had a foul smelly mess in short order.
