Default quarentine new inverts?

I got my bamboo shrimp today and dropped him in my quarantine tank. Is this necessary though? How often do you think they actually carry ich or something with them?

Same deal with all inverts?

Yeah, good to hear. I caved early last night and dropped the shrimp in the main tank...I was not going to admit it either.

Neither do I, most inverts don't carry diseases.

that's pretty interesting. I have a rose bubble nem with white spots on it, I don't really know what the deal is with it, because it still has all it's color and has nice plump tentacles. Any suggestions?

Yeah...salties are a different ballgame all together. Anything from the salt world should be qt'd before placement.
