How do I prepare an Acro to go in the tank?

I typically get my corals from sources that are trusted. I do examine the piece in the store

Yeah I've bought a couple and just put them in the tank, but I figure I should be more careful. I'd hate to end up with a problem that could be easily prevented. I'm not really sure what exactly to look for when examining the coral though.
