I'd keep in the QT you setup and run another FW exit in 2weeks time and theoretically it should be safe to place in DT.
If yo ucan maintain water quality then maybe keep longer and do a third dip of FW exit and also other dips as well. make sure to run carbon and do a big water change after treatment as FW exit can also affect corals later on.
these aren't as bad as the accro FWs so no need to panick.
