are you suposed to let a coral you buy be in a quarantine for 8 weeks to kill the ick off it, so you dont introduce ick into your DT?

you could either freshwater dip the coral or iodine (better option IMO) dip them. You're not really worried about ick on a coral.. you're usually more worried about hitchhikers that are eating the coral before/while introduced into your tank.

oh.. this is all optional by the way depending on how safe you want to be.. I personally just throw coral in the tank.. there is really no long quarantine process with coral like there is fish.
