Bangai doesn't want to eat

[ced]

Two days ago I added a single Bangai (WC) to my tank (other fish: chromis, clown and mandarin).
It didn't accept frozen mysis or frozen krill, so I tried live brine, at daytime and at nightime, but it didn't care for them either (the other fish were very happy though).
Is it normal behavior? Should I wait a little so the guy gets used to the tank?

Is there a reason you bought WC instead of tank-raised? WC have significantly lower survival rates, and, at least in this area, are usually more expensive.

That said, is he being picked on by any of the other fish? Sometimes I've seen BC getting abused by clownfish that won't eat.

He may also just be adjusting. Remember, the males go for 4 weeks at a time without eating, so he'll probably be OK for a few days.

The LFS had only one Bangai.
I was not afraid to take a WC (I'd rather take a CB if I had the choice), as I read several times that they are doing very well in a tank.
No fish is bothering him, and the tank is a reef with anemone and clam - parameters are top-notch.

So this morning, no more Bangai in the tank.....
Got caught by the anemone, or died in a hidden place.
I hope he is not going to pollute the tank, it's a 40G + 20G sump.
