What Do You Do to Quarantine Multiple Corals?

[Nick Kohrn]

Just as the title says, how are you ha fling the receipt of multiple corals?

Do you quarantine them all at once, in the same quarantine system? If so, doesn't that put all of the corals in that system at risk? Or do you receive only one coral at a time and quarantine it by itself?

I realize that it's difficult to quarantine everything in separate systems, so I want to know how you are quarantining multiple corals while reducing the risk of the other corals in quarantine from becoming infected with possible diseases or parasites?

Good question. I've got all mine in the same tank. Obviously, it would be great to quarantine separately, the cost for lights is too much for me. I figure that cleaning pests out of a little tank with no sand is still going to be a lot better than contaminating my 120 DT.
