Ok, I have two reef tanks and I have a protocol I follow when adding corals which includes coral dip and looking them over for hitch hikers, pests, etc.
here is the issue,a friend of mine who has always run FOWLR tanks went out and bout a zoa frag and birdsnest frag but quickly found out that his Angel loves coral! He brought me these frags tonight without much notice. I don’t have any coral dip on hand at this moment and getting it at 7:00 pm is impossible. I’ve looked both frags over extensively and scraped at everything and anything that could be something. Thoughts on the risks?
 
add them or have them die ?
I would choose to add them

I added them, I guess I just over think the QT of anything going in my tanks. A few years back I introduced a Kole Tang into my 250G DT and wiped out everything with flukes. Since that day I’ve been very cautious about adding to my tanks.
