Question on Ich/Fish Diseases From non-fish additions

I was thinking about Ich today and a lot of the stuff I read stated rock/corals can bring ich into the tank if a cyst is attached somehow. Does this mean that any non-fish addition could lead to Ich in the main display tank if the new addition is not quarantined to minimum of 72 days (disease fallow period needed)? This is the only way I could see a tank being completely free of Ich.

If this is so, how do you quarantine a coral for 72 days without lighting and proper water movement? You would basically need a full secondary tank setup, be it smaller perhaps, that has the same lighting/water movement. That gets spendy.

Thanks,
