Question about watanabei angel

I posted this in the "Reef Fish" section, but I thought I would pose the question to the knowledgeable locals. I just purchased a female watanabei angel from Diver's Den (to be delivered tomorrow). I am aware that they QT and medicate these fish. My question is this, since she will have gone through this process, should I add her to the DT to swim freely, put her in an acclimation box, or QT? I don't know if this fish is easily stressed out and if she would benefit from going into the DT right away or if she should be QT'd and for how long? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
 
If you have a QT set up why not use it...Watanabei are my favourite angels.... I had 3 at one point. One started as a male but reverted back to a female! I personally never QT mine but had a pretty stable system at the time. Good luck and post some pics
 
I'd say do an observation QT yourself, but I'm overly cautious when it comes to adding fish. The Diver's Den quarantine procedure looks fairly comprehensive, so maybe observation is all you need (no prazi, copper etc) for peace of mind. Then, depending on the fish in your DT, maybe an acclimation box for a couple of days.
