You guys are all right. QT is extremely important in just about all fish cases. However if you are planning on introducing a Moorish Idol to your system (or Regal Angel) I think you have to take the risk and just introduce them. Otherwise it could be detrimental to the fish. I guess I got away with it because I have such a large system (over 500 gallons running through it) so not QTing one fish didn't seem like a big deal to me. And I haven't had any ich problems in my 210.
I know this is a touchy subject and there are a multitude of opinions about it. That just happneds to be mine. QT all fish except extremely delicate ones that need to be introduced to a reef enviroment right away.
On the flip side however, I made the gigantic mistake of introducing a fish without QT into my 110 FOWLR 3 months ago and every fish in that tank came down with a fungus. I moved them all into QT (luckily the fungus didn't make it into my 210). And today after a long fight with the fungus my beautiful queen angel that I caught a few months ago perished....
So yeah, QT is important!!!
