I have a 40 gal reef that I use to QT clams corals and anemones. But I don’t QT fish. I acclimated fish to get them to get use to captivity condition and eat well.

I do not. Mainly I treat for parasitic snails and FWD if the clam has PMD. If the clam does not look well or growing well then it does not get to my DT.

Keep the clam in isolation as long as it takes to eliminate the snails. If you are diligent about detecting and remove all the baby snails before they mature and breed, then about 4 weeks after remove the last one is sufficient. I would continue to check your clams for parasitic snails monthly for at least 1 year, even after you put him into your main tank.
