I have not done any experiments with cheato before.I would think 5 days tops.I would rinse it off with aged tank water before adding it to the tank.Just in case it started to break down.

#reefsquad,

How long can it go without a light source?
I once had chaeto growing in my sump, then removed the chaeto and light for about 6 months. I added the light source back and a few of the little tiny pieces of chaeto that was left in my sump regrew into a big mass again. No kidding.
 

Looking back to your reefing roots: Did you start with Instant Ocean salt?
