How do i qt inverts.

[Joshua Agostoni]

when you qt fish you treat them with copper if need be.. but what do you use for inverts or are you simply letting them stay in a fishless tank for 76 days?

Most things that effect fish don't effect inverts. Which is why if you put fish into qt, you don't have to mess with the inverts at all. So you can leave them in the tank if you're going fallow :)

ich generally latches onto the gills or scales of fish. I'm unaware of any stage of ich that latches onto inverts. Perhaps @Humblefish or another member of #reefsquad may know.

I stand corrected lol. It doesn't latch onto inverts, but can be carried by them.
