Sorry if this is very basic but do you need to quarantine inverts or can you just put them in the display tank? No fish in display, they just started their quarantine.
Thanks

Inverts, such as snails or crab should be quarantined the standard 76 days unless you increase temp to 80.6, then it’s a 6 week qt. So depending on your DT stocking timeline, you might be able to put them in now.

If your rock was from the ocean or another reefers tank, it’ll need the sand QT time.
Check out humble fish’s forum. Lots of this info is outlined there

Probably safest to QT them.....but I have never QT any invert in the 20 years I have been keeping reef tanks if that means anything lol.
