This will disturb any dirt or detritus and it should cloud up into the water column and suck it up from there. Moss will always collect dirt. If you can remove the rock just rinse it under the tap. Some days you're the pigeon and some days you're the statue. Remember that age and treachery will always triumph over youth and ability.
