Chaeto question

[dbenenh0]

When you get your chaeto from another reefer/LFS is it possible to import ick or some other form of deadly disease into your tank? If so does anyone take precautions to prevent this from happening? Do I need to QT my chaeto in my empty coral qt tank or am I going way overboard.....

Reason for asking is I'm looking to get some for my fuge however I'm nervous just getting it from anyone or from my LFS.

Thanks

I believe humble said put it in a bucket with flow for several hours or days. Please stand by.
I honestly haven't bought chato in years.

Safe bet would be to place the chaeto in a bucket of SW for 48 hrs to allow any theronts to starve out. I highly doubt tomonts could encyst to it.

You pay for shipping I'm more than happy to give you a bunch of it I think it's a crime for what it's going for on ebay.
