This is the issue. Even though corals and inverts are immune to ich, ich can still hitchhike with them into the DT. If you add any inverts during the 8 week period, that resets the clock. the possibility of inverts carrying ich into the DT is small, but it's significant enough that we recommend quarantining them as well.
