I have two turbo snails and one pincusion urchin that have been in my QT tank for two weeks now and I am trying to control myself from moving them to my display. Any input?

You know what your supposed to do, lol.

If the QT is bare bottom and there is nothing that has fallen off thats alive that you can see, hmmm. I hear there are/is maybe a 3% (dont ask me where I got that number form) chance of transferring some nasties, but, a mans gotta do what a mans gotta do.

Yea, guess I should stick it out for the four weeks. Does everybody do this?

I have never quarantined inverts. I do a close inspection for flatworms, bubble algae, and other hitch hikers and then put them straight into the display tank. I don't have much in the way of sps so I don't have to worry about red bugs or similar plagues. Since I want to build up a collection of zoanthids, I'd consider quarantining to avoid zoa pox.

I just moved a turbo and a few astreas from QT to DT today. It's been 5 weeks. As said, you know what to do.
