If you have a QT set up, you may as well quarantine it.

In addition to a RO dip, inspect it carefully for other hitchikers, such as aptaisia, undesirable worms, etc.

Don't forget that if you're handling zoas, it's a good idea to wear eye protection and gloves. Keep any kids and pets out of the way, and make sure you throw out water you used as a dip if there are kids or pets around.

I agree with Lotus. Don't be afraid of the Zoanthids but have some respect for them. I only wear protection when fragging them really. Other than that I view them as harmless (but accidents do happen).
