Answered Understanding that DOC does what DOC does and that many factors can effect the actual amount of time that a given person will serve here is a "guess-timate":

18 months - 6 months CTS (credit time served) = 12 months. 12 months / 85% (in FL, all thing equal, everyone must serve 85% of a prison sentence) = 10.2 months remaining.

That said, DOC should automatically credit him for time already served under his "DC"#".

Once he is processed and designated to his FL-DOC facility you can use the following link to determine his proposed release date:

http://www.dc.state.fl.us/inmatereleases/search.asp

Afterward, if you believe that an error has been made then you can either directly contact the facility's classification unit or contact DOC directly to address the same.  A link to all of that contact info follows:

http://www.dc.state.fl.us/oth/inmates/release.html

Only if, after all that, you remain convinced that either the release date is incorrect or lawful credit has not been given / credited, should you contact a local (local to the Court the did the sentencing) criminal defense lawyer and pay her/him to review the sentencing / disposition documents, confirm  DOC and local jail records and then, if appropriate, file a legally sufficient motion with the Court.
