Unfortunatley it has some corals on it mushrooms zoos and some hard corals he could not get off, also a bonus pistol shrimp that hitchhiked his system has been set up for 2 years. What do I do now?

Unfortunately???? Sounds more like a bonus to me!!!

People move/upgrade tanks all the time. How do you think they do it? They move LR from one set up to another and are off to the races.

Your rock is already cycled, and my guess is that most of those hitch hikers will survive if you keep salinity, temp and other water parameters in control. They did with mine....mushrooms, capnella, xenia, and all sorts of good critters.

Since this rock came from a live system, though, odds are you won't see any cycle at all (that is, if you got the rock from one tank to another within a couple of hours)

Have fun!!
