Chaeto on the way, now what?

[Leadfooted]

Previously, I'd just toss in Chaeto from other members or LFS and never considered the pest that were hitching a ride. This time, I'm trying my best not to allow any hitchhikers in my system, good or bad, I want them dead (I know, it sounds so aggressive). I want Chaeto, not a bug & aptasia farm and I don't want to inspect it with a microscope or magnifying glass, I want to nuke it!

So, what do you do with your Chaeto?

also, interesting article on lighting you Chaeto and where I got the image. Grow massive Chaetomorpha

I get all my macros from clean systems and toss them in
I've never seen hitchhikers nor have I noticed an increase in pests from them
not saying they are 100% sterile but I'm sure they are pretty darn close

I purchased @Battlecorals Chaeto so didnt have to worry about pests.

But yeah, I would inspect it super closely, freshwater dip, maybe bayer coral dip, etc.
