All live rock goes through a curing process you can't avoid it once you expose it to air ( remove it from water) The uncured rock you are looking at is different because it hasn't been in a tank and comes from the ocean directly. If you go this route a couple of things to do is use vegetable brush (new) to remove all dead material from the rock, and make sure the protien skimmer is fired up on the tank. The tank will spike and I don't suggest adding live stock through this part of the process. If it is directly from theocean you will also get a smell for about a week that can be strong. ( during one curing process of a large amount of rock I was told the rcok goes or the wife goes to the mother in laws) There is more but this post would be 3 pages long feel free to write me for more info
