Dogface Not Eating

I introduced a large Dogface Puffer to my tank about a week ago. While in quarentine for two weeks in a small tank it ate Krill (shrimp) just fine. The last few days in quarentine it ate less but was swimming fine very actively in fact. So I put it in the main the tank. Now it wont eat krill, squid or even feeder fish! It's eating something because it is pooping! My live stock is all acounted for. Please advise!

Give it a couple more days. It is probably just stressed from being moved into a tank with other animals.

Exclamation I know what got the Dogface SICK!

It likes the Dogface ate my two Bubble Anemones! They are MIA and I have looked everywhere. As stated ealier the Dogface's skin complexion got darker, the skin got bumpy (sort of goose bumps) and it stopped eating. Well it ate for the first time yesterday. I put some squid in the lettuce clip and after an hour or so it ate. Any ideas what the fate of this guy is? Eating the anemone gradually kill this fish? Any treatment ideas? Please advise.
