The risk is getting a bunch of baby aiptasia hitchhikers. I'd keep the frag in an easily accessible spot and keep a close eye on it for aiptasia sprouting out of the frag disc/LR the frag is attached to.

I don't believe they can attach to fishes, they attach to a hard substrate.

no, but do not introduce any of the other person's water into your system.
