    I don't quarantine fish and for those of yall that do it specifically for ich I guess you'll be surprised to know that the ich is already in your display tank, it is a natural thing and most of the time fish never have trouble fighting it off until they get stressed. New fish get stressed, especially when tossed into a QT setup and can often struggle with ich because of it so you end up thinking you saved your tank, then the ich goes away when the fish finally gets comfortable and you pitch it in your tank. As for corals, I don't QT or acclimate them, they get a lugols or seachem dip and a freshwater dip and get tossed into the tank after setting in the open air for 30 seconds to slime up.
