BTA in fallow DT?

[illmatic1]

Any opinions on adding a BTA to a tank running fallow following a disease outbreak? BTA tank was my original plan anyhow. Getting tired of looking at an empty tank.

Anemones are filled with water. If the BTA came from a dealers tank that had an active fish disease in it, it is possible for the disease to be carried over in that water, breaking the fallow period. If the anemone had been housed in a fishless system, then there is no risk.
