New Condy help and advice please

[MichaelScotch]

I went to pet store and decided to do a 30$ test, just to see how well I could handle this... Have a 50 gallon saltwater aquarium been up for close to 5 months coralline algae that's 2 months old and covering 25% of my tank. I wanted an end goal of a soft coral tank and I figured I would start here. From my research this little bugger is a wanderer and I just figured this is how he would start but it doesn't seem right...Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Bury him in the sand under a flatish rock.

Tank should be about a yr old before adding Nems but follow advice of reeflover. When I got mine I dug out a small bowl like area in between some rocks & put him in it. He's still in the same spot.

Welp looks like he is officially dead... Is that what's happening here? He was doing crazyness yesterday when I fed him but now I imagine he is almost dead... Any advice?

Remove it from the tank if it looks like it's coming apart.
