Is it needed and why? If I know little about sw fish I am a newborn when it comes to corals.

I personally don't qt coral and most people in my local reef club don't either. Instead they do various dips to eliminate anything bad. I'll admit I have never done any of this, but 95% of my coral have come from the same person who has parasite free tanks and is very trustworthy, but If I were buying from stores or un-know sources, I would probably at least dip them.

I just don't have the space to set up another tank to qt coral or the funds to light that qt tank. We also have 2 wrasses in our system which eat any flatworms that may hitchhike into the tank. So far we've yet to have any problems other then a few of the harmless brown flatworms, which the wrasses quickly took care of

I have not QT'd any of my corals either.

I use a good coral dip product (link below) to take care of any nasties such as flat worms and most common parasites
