Usually the arms start falling apart on them when they go and the acclimation error will not show up tell like a month into have him in the tank. If i remember right it was a 6 hour acclimation but i think three will do as long as you match the temp and pH to the tank.
The funny thing is they are extremely cheap and extremely hard to take care of. Since the last time i did research on them they did not know exactly what they eat but some type of film that grows on the rocks and sand. Good luck and keep us updated. Thanks
