How long to quarentine? Nudi found...

[SIR PATRICK]

Didnt find it in my tank this time!

If I got a zoa frag from a LFS, and dipped and found a nudi, how long should this frag be kept in quarentine before it was absolutly safe to return to the tank?

No eggs were seen, but would like to be on the safe side.

If there are unseen eggs, how long at the most could it take for them to hatch?

I seem to have forgoten, with 100% certanty, this information. Help would be great!

A couple weeks, I IMO would say 4-6 weeks so if any did survive it gives time to grow and be more detectable.

Nudi eggs are pretty obvious (spoken from recent experience) What did you dip them in ?. I just recently went through a big all zoas dip with 4x concentration mix of flat worm exit and (knock on wood) haven't seen anything since.
I set up a 3g tank with the fwe and a mj900, moved the zoas into it, soaked them for 45min then into a container with a mj900 and tank water to blast them off. Close egg inspection and then back in the tank.
Before the dip I was pulling 3-4 off every morning when the lights came on.

Thx for the info. I am going to sugest 6 weeks, just to be on the safe side of things. I dont take chances when it comes to the possibility of getting nudis introduced in tanks. Just not worth the risk, weather I see eggs or not.

Apreciate the help.
