Flame Hawk Not Eating

[Dhaus]

Hi all. I'm having feeding issues with my new Hawk
When I introduced him to my tank he ate a littlemysis on the first day. Since then, nada. It's been 9 days not eating. I've tried frozen mysis and garlic infused pellets. He shows no interest at feeding times.

His color is good and he bmoves around the tank. My other fish eat fine.
Any ideas are greatly appreciated !

I assume the fish was not quarantined. Could be internal parasites. Tell us more about your tank.

Okay. It's a 55 gal with a lot of live rock, a clown hosting an anemone, sand sifting goby and a few corals. 20 gal water change 8 days ago. I supplement water with Fusion 1 and 2 ans Reef Essential every other day. Water checks out fine.
Like I said, his color is great and he perches all over the tank and doesn't look stressed

I’ve had fish take a few days to acclimate to a new tank but thats after a successful quarantine. 9 days is a long time to not eat if he is healthy. If I were you I’d be prepared to isolate and treat.

Hey. He finally starting pellets today! Thank God. I guess he needed some time. I'm super relieved!

Glad to see he's eating, ours didn't eat for the first week. But then I realized two peppermints made the transfer to the upgrade haven't seen them sense.
