Funny, I've drip acclimated most of my new additions, but never quarantined. I know I've been lucky not to have ended up with some nasty disease in my system. Plenty of horror stories of folks losing valuable livestock after not quarantining.

I do recall losing a tuxedo urchin not long after introducing it to my tank. I remember rushing the drip & always figured that may have been the cause, since it didn't last very long. I've since added another & it's doing great. Took half a day to acclimate that guy.
