I believe the water in QT is changed frequently to control ammonia, so any irritants would be diluted quickly. True about multiple gigs. Its just that from a biological perspective, pathogenic infections do not behave this way. Puzzling. If we were experimenting, removing the other anemones, then adding the new gig back to DT would be the thing to test. Not sure what else Beuchat can try, other than set up another tank for the new gig. Then maybe try mixing again in a few months. Sure is amazing to see the recovery that gig makes when removed from DT, with or without antibiotics.
