how long has it been dry?
A note on "liverock" - I havn't heard anyone use the term regenerated yet so i'll coin the phrase . as live rock goes, it's harvested and put into tanks to allow whatever died from the ocean to the tank to "cure" off -basically rot off [man it stinks] from there you bring it home [wet] cycle it into your tank, and it has good bactierias, little critters, corals, mushrooms, worms all kinds of cool, good and bad stuff, think of it as a jump start from one environment [the worlds oceans] to another [your livingroom]
That being said, anything porus you put in the tank will eventually become "live" as bactierias and the like settle in and take up home keeping on them - so if your coral has been dry for quit awhile, i think you could boil it and I would soak it for a day or so in a bucket of salt water, just incase some crude comes out, then place it in the tank and watch it "regenerate" again
I have half purchased actual "live rock" and half dried coral rock that is becoming live as time passes - -hope this helps - -read read read , welcome to the addiction !!!!!!!
