    Any signs of illness on the fish?

    EDIT: Also if an LFS has live brine near you, I would try some of that also.

    I can confirm at least that mine likes frozen brine but he is also about 4" long and i have seen young ones eat it at my LFS.

    Brine shrimp will be your best bet, try soaking it in garlic extract to entice him even further.

    From what I remember with my blue hippo tang. It didn't eat for weeks after placing him in my tank. After a month he came out of hiding and started eating everything in sight. Just give him more time to adjust to his new home.
