QT coral frags?


So tomorrow I'm likely to pick up a number of frags from local club members, and I'm curious about possible QT needs. I'm expecting a number of unmounted frags, mostly fresh cuts, but what's the best way to pull this off? What could I miss from doing visual inspections? My biggest concern would be AEFW, as they are pretty rough to get rid of, but the only QT I've got is more geared towards fish (as in, very little lighting).

I guess the best way to put it is that I don't want to QT, but know better than to just dump a bunch of trouble in the tank. Is visual inspection for pests an acceptible solution prior to coral additions?

Visual inspection alone no way is that acceptable imo Especially with the amount of acros you have in your tank if i recall. too much to lose

But if they are fresh cuts so nothing near the bases along with a tmpcc dip at 150% for 20 minutes, and a close visual inspection for any bite marks or egg clusters i think it is reasonably safe with no qt
