Do you still quarantine if you buy WYSWYG?

There are a few retailers that sell a sort of "what you see what you get" style fish where they take extra precautions on the fish's health like dips, medications, visual examinations, etc. We all know your supposed to quanrantine every fish you get but tell me if you always follow this rule strictly or do you sometimes sip the QT when the fish is more delicate then usual, etc.

WYSIWYG is just a way of saying, "you're getting this particular fish or coral" instead of one picked out of a tank at random. You should still take all precautions as far as disease and parasites go.

Depends on the fish, but honestly, not QTing has bitten me in the butt a couples. I'd rather lose a fish in QT than introduce heaven knows what to the main display....

I ALWAYS quarantine new arrivals, including the WYSIWYG.

Everything gets q-tank'd.
