no need to quote his entire post.
you obviously have to have some knowledge of what the species would require when setting up the qt.
it's not a question of "if" like you mentioned, it's "HOW".

I have 2 leopards currently, and have had 3-4 more in the past. I did not QT any of them, nor would I recommend it unless your QT is more like a reef tank with sand a lots of micro fauna for the fish to eat.
FWIW - I have never seen any sign of disease on any of these fish, but I don't have much issue with disease anyway.
They are safer than most fish as far as non-QT risk goes. If you don't want to risk introducing the fish into your display, then I would not get one if you are going to try and QT it in a sterlie tank.
The way that these are collected and shipped will go a long way toward success. If you haven't already, read this article.

My vote is to quarantine, if the fish makes it through you have a leopard wrasse that you know will live for many years.
If you don't quarantine, you not only take the chance of losing the wrasse but all your other fish too plus you would have to leave your display tank fallow for 6 weeks not worth the risk imo
I have quarantined an achilles tang and a potters angel successfully, both supposed to be difficult to keep alive fish. If you can supply its needs it should be possible
