Fallow Period Ich

Just for the avoidance of doubt.....

a Pistol Shrimp and 2 skunk shrimp can remain in reef display tank for the fallow period as they are not susceptible to ich, correct?

I assume the pistol is better off alone in the display tank than w/ his goby friend in a glass bottow QT?

Correct. Fallow period should be nine weeks.

Inverts are fine during the fallow period. The pistol shrimp doesn't need company.
