What I ended up doing is scrubbing the stones down really well, then baking them in the oven at 300 degrees for about a half hour or so. That seemed to have dried them out pretty well. I took a couple pictures that I linked. You can see the Red Devil in a couple of them. The scale of the pics is kind of weird... I hope that my pleco doesn't totally trash my setup, a good smack from his tail could probably take the structure down! Here are some pics:

In this one, look at this little Red tail shark. I had him in one of my other tanks, and he killed two of my other sharks and one of my swordtails. No idea why he is so aggressive... I was really ticked, and I KNOW this isn't quite ethical, but I figured I would just put him in the Cichlid tank to teach him what it feels like to be smacked around. Anyway, what's the difference between feeding them a feeder platty and any other fish? The funny thing is, the Cichlids have totally left the shark alone. They have no interest in him whatsoever. So he just floats around wherever he wants unmolested (for now). Here is the pic:
