QT or not QT that is the question

A friend of mine has a yellow tang that he is going to sell me that been in his established tank for a while. I was wondering if it would be safe enough to acclimate this fish and put it directly into my display tank and not QT it since it has been in a healthy tank?

Not QT'ing is a gamble, although if the fish comes from a known system and there is no history of illness, you could probably get by w/o it.
If you have a QT, then it would be prudent to QT the fish just to be safe. I've obtained fish from other systems before and haven't q'd them simply knowing the history of the tank and the care given by their owners.
