If I were you, I'd put on a pair of dish gloves if you are going to handle a large quantity of live rock. Everytime I handle mine I get speared by bristleworms and my fingers itch for days. There are also some infections you can get by cutting/scratching your hands on live rock. Don't be afraid though. I always used to handle the rocks with my bare hands but I just got tired of the itching. I never worried that a monster in the rocks would bite me or something
