I would definitely plan to treat. I'm going to give mine a day in a cycled 40 breeder and hope I get lucky, but I have a 10g ready. I think it's always about 50/50 to survive with gigs that arent established and coming from someone else's tank. I'm hoping since these just came in they will arrive in pretty good shape. He did tell me they have cipro but realistically it's pretty impossible for them to be treated with cipro in a large tank with so many anemones.
Among the reef has gigs available now

They look to be in pretty decent shape in the pics he sent me. Especially for only arriving that day. I was wanting it to get shipped yesterday but he was going to be closed. I am confident he won't send them if they look to be declining though. He's going to send me another pic before he ships.
I'm going to see what it looks like when it arrives. If it looks good in the bag I'll watch it for a day. If not it will go straight to treatment. I didn't ask about any guarantee.

Pfan, I have a small tetra hang on filter on my 10 gallon QT. Should I run a carbon filter cartridge initially and remove filter cartridge if I need to treat?

I would definitely remove the carbon if you treat. I'd romve all the rock too aside from the one the anemone is on if you treat to.
He just sent me a pic of mine today before shipping. Still looks heathly.

For treatment you really want a bare tank. Anything with significant amount of bacterial will increase the chance of registrant bacterial. Water quality is being address by remove discharge, change water when it is clowndy AND daily 100% water change.
QT need to be a lot more stable than a minimal filtration. My QT system is a full blown 30 gal reef that is running all the time. No corals unless they are in there for QT purpose

Looks a little flat to me but if it was just moved that might explain it. I'm assuming we will both end up using cipro. Seems to be needed most of the time. In my experience at least.
