QT Sea hare/nudibranch?

[mitchrapp]

What's the best way to QT sea hares or nudibranches? Since they are soft-bodied, ich tomonts can't encyst on them, correct? If that's the case, just a few rinses with tank water to ensure no shipping water gets transferred should be sufficient, correct?

Not necessarily. I followed that line of thinking once with snails, I swished each snail in 3 small bowls of water before tank entry...two weeks later all my fish were suffering from gill flukes and the snails were the only additon in many months.

Quarantine it all!

So what is the best way to QT these?

I'm assuming I do not need 72 days fallow in QT like with other inverts since there are no hard surfaces for tomonts to encyst on correct? If that is correct, what is the best way to ensure no shipping water gets transferred?

Sea hare will probably die in qt with no food.
