Do you treat your carpet anemones before adding them to display tank?

[Tango451]

If another haddoni will be added to an aquarium and you already have one, should you always treat the new one before adding it or only if it looks ill to ensure it can't make the other sick?

I always QT all of carpets for at least a week. Given the rarity and cost of carpet nems, I think it's a best practice --for all carpent anemone owners -- to always have a QT tank on hand. You may not have to treat with antibiotics, but the liklihood of the nem needing treatment is high, and it's very possible for a sick nem to transmit its ailment to tankmates.

I don't treat my anemone unless there is deflation afte24 hrs. I keep a full QT tank for my new anemone. It is a well run 30 gal cube.
