we used a masonry bit. but live rock is not nearly as strong as concrete. any long bit will probably work, but i'd go with a masonry bit just incase you run into some real dense pieces.
the one we used looked exactly like this:

yeah and don't press down too hard on the rock while drilling or you wind up with rock rubble for the refugium part of the sump, ain't that right X?
