Hi fish docs,
I introduced a snail to my invert QT a week ago from LFS on which I discovered several anchor worms. I didn't see the worms until the snail had been in the tank for at least a week, but the snail is now isolated in an outside container.
How long must I wait for any eggs or juveniles potentially in the Quarantine tank to live out their lifecycle and die without a host? There is only 1 other snail in the tank which I assume is a potential host, and I may need to remove that snail also, what do you think? The other inverts in there are copepods, hermit crabs, and a dying sponge.
