Redleg13b, I probably know close to 50 reefers in my local club and not one of them quarantine coral. In 15 years of keeping multiple reef tanks with corals, I never once quarantined a coral, even ones I collected wild in the Florida Keys and the Gulf of Mexico.
The only case of a fish with a parasite was one with Ich that a friends fish had and I had a spare tank so I treated it.
If you feel the need to quarantine coral, be my guest, it's unlikely to do any harm. But IMHO, it's also unlikely to be necessary 99.9% of the time.
