HELP will this frag survive?

[shabash]

I recently went to my LFS looking for frags for my nano. I saw he had some nice frags for 10 bucks so I asked for one. Instead of getting the ones that he had in the priced section, he CUT a section from his mother colony and THrew that in a bag with some water. I think I was in too much shock to react and when I got it home after acclimating it for and hour I put it on a small rock held by a toothpick that is tied down by a rubberband. The frag still does not look happy. Its been about 24 hours now. IS this common practice? Should I return the pitiful little frag and get one that looks established or just ask for my money back?

what kind of frag is it?

it's not a common practice. most won't release something until it has adhered to whatever, and is doing better. i wouldn't worry just yet.
