I believe that they are saying don't quarantine because of the potential dangers to you because of the fish's venom and the stress it creates on the fish when you potentially have to take a long time trying to get disentangled it from the net. However, I don't think that they are guarenteed to be disease free - they can carry disease just like any other fish..I personally wouldn't take the chance.
I think you made the right move.
