30 min should be fine. Longer if your water paramiters are really different from the water it came in.

Feathers usually do fine if you just temp acclimate them but you can add some of your tank water, wait about 15 minutes and repeat and you should be fine. I have 8 dusters and I have always just temp acclimated them and they are all doing great.

Beautiful Hawaiian duster....congrats

Just a suggestion, dusters are filter feeders and you may look into getting some Kent Marine Micro-Vert or PhytoPlex to supplement your tank. If you only have 1 your tank is probably ok on it's own but if you decide to add more, those 2 supplements will ensure plenty of food for them.
