I usually quarantine for about a month. A UV sterilizer is one of the things I plan on adding but have not done so yet. The display tank that this fish will ultimately be going into will have a sandy bottom.

I would suggest a Uv sterilizer for you quarantine tank. One month to 6 weeks is what I quarantine mine for as well...

When I was smart and QT'd, would go BB with a bunch of PVC fittings and pipe pieces for hiding places as was easiest for keeping the tank clean from waste and uneaten food.

Though never QT a wrasse, would suggest the same but if looking like isn't doing well, could try a container such as a ice cream pail 1/2 full of sand.

I like the idea of placing a pail with sand in it in the tank. Thanks for the sound advice.
