I understand the pros and cons and choose to introduce them directly into the display. I have had 21 gennys and my only losses are a male watanabei that jumped after 4 years (broke my heart) and a male caudo that got crushed in a rockslide. I have never lost one due to introduction/etc. I would not suggest that anybody else do this. They all ate mysis on the first day and have never looked back. I do feed thera-A which allegedly helps with parasites, if they had any, so maybe that helps to mask my stupidity... Perhaps it also helps that I have known the chain of custody from known net collectors that know how to decompress correctly and otherwise treat their fish. However, if I did suspect a parasite issue, I would have no problems parzi'ing my display since my SPS and clams don't seem to care.
I have a 75G QT with lots of rock, good quality water, etc. and I make this choice from years of chatting with the locals and reading experiences of people online - this is not due to a lack of means or knowledge. My other do-not-QT fish mostly include fish that need microfauna/pods all the time like copperbands, leopard wrasses, mandarins, etc... and some reefsafe triggers.
Sorry for the hijack - is the male eating yet?
