It won't be too long before I'll be ready to start adding some soft corals to my new 150g mixed reef. I have a good set of procedures for quarentining fish but I'm new to corals. I'm trying to learn what kind of protocols should I be using for quarentining soft corals before they go into my DT?
 
Do you have a frag tank you could observe them in?

Honestly with softies I would just inspect them and rinse them in fresh SW and add them to the tank.
