rocks turning green

[bboy aqua]

I just rescently boiled my LR because of unwante critters and after I boiled them,I put them in room tempature water and left it like that for 2 days
When i checked them they were turning green
I want to know why this is happening and if its a type of algae
I would like to get some coraline on that rock in the future

You cook your LR in a *dark* container for a few month, not literally "cooking" it!

would that way kill all the worms and other stuff on my rock?

No "cooking" will preserve everything except algae.

But you've just paid a lot money for a piece of dead rock now. Is that what you want?

I never paid a penny because a friend of mine got 30lbs for his 10 nano so he gave the extra to me

But you still should not have boiled it.

Putting your LR's in total darkness, with no added food, will forced the critters to come out of hiding from the LR's (in search of food?). And if leave them in the bucket for long enough, will also starve them.
