I currently have a hospital tank that I cured ich on my 3 fish that I was thinking about putting my CUC and a couple corals in while I nuke the rock and clean the tank.
Aside from potenital dinoflagellate contamination, the corals and cuc from a tank infested with crytocryon irritans may introduce encysted parasites into the "hopsital tank". These animals may also be harmed by fish medications you may use in qt.
