...in case you ever put an invert in there?
Help please

I would never put Coral or inverts in my fish quarantine tank which has had copper applied numerous times.
I was wondering if I would need a separate coral QT tank
I imagine he's referring to using a single QT to work for fish and corals. That's what I'd have to do if I ever wanted to QT fish. You can treat fish in a QT with copper but want to make sure that anything you have in the tanks is removed before you put coral in there. You can rinse a product like Matrix but there's still the potential to have it leach copper back out. Of course is the fish are good, there's no need to treat with copper and it won't even be an issue.
Even is any materials that could absorb copper are removed, I'd still run Cuprisorb just to be safe. It's a cheap bit of insurance to make sure any copper traces are gone.

I bought the seachem cupramine but haven’t used it yet
A separate quarantine tank for Coral and inverts is certainly a great idea. It is something I'm planning in the very near future. So far I have been lucky and gotten by with just dipping my corals, which has prevented many pests from making it into my display tanks. Of course when certain pests are found many periodic dippings are indicated, as eggs may be present, and there is always the possibility of a pest escaping eradication
