do I QT my CUC?

In expectation of taking in a few more fish (buying a tank from a fellow reefer), I am ordering some CUC from live aquaria ....

Do I need to QT the CUC?

No, it's not necessary to QT a CUC.

I agree I just QT fish.

I don't necessarily QT a CUC, but I will give them a good LOOK before I place them in the DT... Small snails on small snails can be bad. (pyramid) My Derasa is crying... GL.

Slow drip acclimation - no QT.

What about shrimp, or by cuc we mean all invertebrates?

I QT all fish, corals and clams; but not other inverts (shrimp, crabs, snails, etc.). I suppose in a perfect world, everything would go through QT, but the reports of small inverts bringing something bad into your DT are very infrequent.
