QT for Inverts ??

[derwood]

Pretty sure I know the answer.... but should inverts be QT'd for 3-4 weeks just like fish?
My issue is that I have a pretty small QT (10 Gal) and that limits what I can put in there but I would like to get 10-15 crabs & a nudibranch at the same time and ideally would like to put them in my main tank (with my lonely clown). Plus, I really don't have any algea growth in the QT so I'd need to supliment their diet with algea sheets.
Any thoughts? (or abuse.... )
Thanks,
DerWood

I could be wrong but I don't beleive that there are any diseases shared between fish and inverts. I have never QT my inverts and I don't beleive anyone else does. Try this in the Disease forum you might get more responses.

Hey Derwood. Most people dont QT inverts. QT any fish, but inverts can go straight to the tank. IMO.

Thanks for the help.
BTW, Beth confirmed NO QT for Inverts... in another posting of mine (in case you see this post and not the other).

I had the same q as you.
