What controls are available for marine velvet? Can hermits, snails and orange linkia be infected? This is all that has survived so far. How long should i wait for it to be safe to add fish?

Thanks Stacy I don't think I have time to setup a QT. I didn't mean to point a finger at SWF for my problems, (that's probably why I am not getting any replies) but it is making me wonder why they stress using a QT so much. I have been buying from a LFS and have never had any problems, but...
