Received a cloudy bag with a melting ricordea.

Is its chance of survival bad?

Boy, that is a tough one. There might be some survival now that they are in the tank. Good luck. Keep us updated.
1 for no 1 for maybe!

I dipped with coralrx maybe that can sanitize it a bit and lowered them on the rack. Melting seems to have partially stopped
 
The amount of slime shown is concerning. I've seen 3 polyps get to that stage and not recover until I found a bailout across the tank. Gl, iodine dips and stable water chemistry is your best bet.
 
some of them get super stressed with travel. give them time to acclimate and low light.
