This guy is coming from Diver's Den, so he has been through QT. I will have him under observation at first and hopefully he doesn't need treatment. You are right, I may opt to place him in the DT as soon as he is eating and I've had enough time to observe him.
I wouldn't take advice from that dude. He doesn't QT. I have one that's almost a year in now. Got him at juvenile stage. Went through TTM and I've done with all of my fish. Became the bully as soon as I put in the display. He bullied a hippo Tang twice his size. And now he's grown bigger than the Hippo. Only Tang he won't mess with was the larger Blonde Naso. He eventually had to give up the crown once I added my Achilles Tang.
