Does anybody on here know if fresh live rock can be treated for parasites in the same way fish can through the tank transfer method as I can't figure a way to add fresh live rock to a tank without introducing parasites I was hoping that maybe somebody had some insight on this

That being said a quarantine tank can do the trick

No need for copper if fishless.
