Hi Everyone.
There is a thread on this same topic but it dates back to 2015 so I thought I would revive the discussion.
A trusted reefer in my city generously gave me a handful of cheato. I say he's a trusted reefer because he's been in the hobby for long and has a well established and beautiful tank.
Still I decided to quarantine the cheato. So right now it's in a bucket with water from my display tank and a little water flow from a small return pump.
I have also dipped the Cheato once in Coral RX for 10 min from which only a bristle-worm came out. The cheato survived the dip (I was a little afraid it would kill it or part of it).
Question: How long do you think I should keep the cheato in quarantine to make sure it's free from potentially nasty stuff? any recommendation? Also, can I occasionally dip the cheato again in Coral RX or will it do more harm than good?
Thanks
