Best thing you can do is acclimate them slowly. If thay were dead the bags they came in would be very milky brown and smell like death.

the snot stuff is actually normal its kinda like self defense. some wrasses do it too

Monti's and frogspawn don't ship well to begin with. Then add the scenerio you described and it's even worse. Frogspawn are notoriously dying in shipping containers. I'm pretty sure froggy is dead. If you're not running carbon, get some in there now so this dead crap doesn't crash your tank.
If you want frogspawn, find a local LFS that is growing it and is willing to frag a piece for you. That's the only way you know for sure it will survive. Find it local. And I don't mean find it at a local store that just got a shipment of it, I mean find a store that is GROWING it.

Nothing else you really can do. See if the company you bought it from will help you out. I never buy corals online. I have hard enough time keeping things alive as it is, having stuff shipped makes it that much harder.
