Hello,
so I've picked up the very good habit of basically isolating anything from my DT, and making sure they go through proper QT. All fish get TTM before going in, and corals sit in my frag tank for monitoring, and then if I add them to my DT I'll break them off the plugs (which is where ich *could* be) and add them to rock.
So I'm fairly confident my DT is ich free, and all my tangs look happy.
That said, I was wondering what to do for an Anemone I am considering getting. Can ich attach to an anemone? Or would I be pretty safe if I get an anemone, put it in a QT tank for a day or 2 (to 'dilute out' the water which may have free floating ich), and then toss into the DT?
I know if I put the anemone in its own tank for 60 days, that would be the safest way. But it's not really an option IMO.
Thanks
