To quarantine or not to quarantine? That is the question.

I know the best practice is to quarantine all fish and coral before adding to the DT, but are aquacultured corals from ORA or Lonestar usually safe to add to the DT right away? I would most likely be purchasing them from LiveAquaria, saltwaterfish.com, or Frags and More.

When you are QT'ing, you're basically able to monitor for pests like AEFW, nudibranchs, red bugs, etc. It's up to you if you feel confident that a source has a lowered chance of importing those into your tank. The sources you list are reputable and you can dip before putting in your tank to be extra sure. I personally don't QT corals but I've had both zoa nudis and FWs so it comes down to how much of a chance you want to take!
