I recently ordered an acantho online, and he arrived on time but in a mostly empty bag, upside down. First picture is what he looked like upon arriving. I had a family member take him out of the box and temperature acclimate until I got home, which worked fine, but he was not looking great, and it was already past the 2 hour DOA policy. I want to know if he will be fine or not, i fed him mysis day 3 and he ate it willingly. As of now, 4 days later, he was stung by my elegance which i had to move up more. Now has been pretty retracted with a half open mouth. Worried if I feed him now, it will be way too much stress, so do I just wait and hope? Everything else in the tank is plenty happy, and parameters have been very stable for the past month.

Parameters:
Alk: 7.2
Phos: 0.04
Nitrate: 4
Mg: 1420
Cal: 410
Temp: 78.5
Salinity: 1.026
