+1 - if you want to be extra safe and have the time then QT them...most (myself included) do not but understand the risk.It is up to you. Many people do not quarantine inverts, but there is a possibility that snails and such could be bringing in fish parasites (ich, velvet, etc) that are encysted on the shells/exoskeleltons. This is the biggest reason to QT inverts, to eliminate this possibility.
If you are willing to accept the risk, add your cleanup crew directly to the display tank. If you are going to be QTing fish to make sure the tank stays disease free, then it might be wise to also QT your inverts.

No. But don’t put the water in your tank. Depends where you buy them from, like reef cleaners, says not to drip acclimate them either.
