Any new fish or invert introduced to your system poses the same threat whether it is going into a 5 gallon tank or a 500 gallon tank. In fact smaller tanks are probably even more at risk due to the smaller volume which'll cause a higher concentration of anything introduced.

If you are just starting a tank, it makes sense that you need not quarentine because there is nothing to be threatened in the tank in the first place.
