So what you say is float the bag and put the fish right into quarantine tank.

Were the fish eating? Did they have pinched stomachs? Did you see any aggression? Was there any sign of disease? Drip method is fine.
No, after floating the bag for temperature...the drip acclimation should be about 15 minutes, because the QT salinity should be matched to the shipping water salinity

It could be nothing, just the stress of shipping the fish. I do not have a high success rate with halichoeres genus fish to be honest, most of those I've procured have died within the two week grace period offer by liveaquaria. Those that make it past that seem to be then be no trouble. I do use a dedicated quarantine system that I maintain year round for any new additions, however, and I would recommend ensuring proper quarantine of any new fish.
