To Quarantine Invertebrates?

Is there any reason to quarantine invertebrates? If so, how can you do so without starving them? Thanks in advanced.

I asked basically the same question a while back, here's the thread

Those of you who quarantine, do you quarantine your inverts?

I was wondering, those of you who quarantine, do you quarantine your inverts? It's not something I have ever done or felt the need to. But was watching fish of hex on youtube and he says he quarantines everything. Thoughts?
