what is your Alk? also I noticed that your tank is still cycling as you still have a nitrite reading.. Nitrite is very bad even at low concentrations but I don't have a chart so I can't tell off hand if yours is bad.. I will dig up my chart and see.

Sometimes they shrivel up to nothing as protection against something they think is dangerous, in which case it will puff up again soon.

How long did you take to acclimate him? Has he moved at all since you put him in?

I took 4 hours to acclimate him I let him floating my tank in his bag for 30 minutes. Then I used the drip method for 3 - 4 hours. He moved since I put him in but Very little.
