I am currently setting up another larger tank along with a QT and the cycling is almost done.
I am planning to put all the fish into the QT before going into the new tank. I have a couple of corals (toadstool, frogspawn) in my old tank that I would like to transfer to the new tank but do I need to quarantine those corals ? I am afraid that parasites etc (like ich, which I think my old tank has) may be transferred to the new tank.
If I understand it correctly, corals cannot "host" parasites, but parasites could attach to corals in free swimming stage. There will be no fish in the new tank for at least a month or so. Is it safe to move the corals now?
And do I need another QT tank for future corals?
Thank you very much in advance.
