You will probably not know the full health of the star for at least 2 weeks (though true of any star you add -- they are just finicky and can still be moving around while starting to melt away, OR can be totally motionless and be perfectly happy).
Leave him be, there's nothing you can do at this point except keep the water as stable as possible (but this is always the goal right?  )... If you find a water parameter that's not quite where you want it -- don't drastically change it - gradually make the change over the course of a couple weeks.

In my experience it takes days to weeks even for echinoderms to really get active after being moved into a tank. Also as stated it kind of goes in spurts.
If you don't see any deterioration or disintegration (or arms falling off) then it's best to leave it be for now.

I had a little piece of one arm fall off shortly after adding my linkia but he's been pretty active and doing well ever since. I've had it for about 2 months now and I always see him in different places every time I look at the tank.
