Emperor Angelfish not eating

Hello,
My emperor angelfish is not eating. I've went out and purchased some cheap zoanthids in hope he'll eat them. I suspect he's picking at the rocks but I have yet to see it, but I've seen him hover face in the rock like he'll pick at it. I've owned him for 4 days, and on the third day I saw him chew at some seaweed floating around. I've changed the water in hopes it'll help. The angelfish has some whitish blotches on him but he hasn't lost or gain any weight. He gets kinda bashed around by my pump so I've ordered a weak pump. He might have been stress since on the 2nd night he got too close my puffer while he was sleeping and caused the puffer to take a chunk of of his tail. I've ordered some Seachem Entice and Garlic extreme. I've tried mysis, formula 2 flakes, Omega one garlic flakes. I've yet to tried bloodworms, NlS, and brine shrimp. His breathing is normal but to white splotches are worst on one side then the other. Any suggestions on how to get him to eat? The sg is 1.021 btw.
 
Adult or juvenile?
If he is sick you need remove him to FW Dip 15 min., a Prazi Pro Dip for an hour, and then onto a QT tank. It could be he is getting harassed enough that he will not eat until it stops.

He is a juvenile. I'm getting ready to dip him right now. The whitish blotches are much more intense so I suspect flukes. Prazi should be here by tomorrow, can't get it locally so I had to order it online

Edit: I did a quick dip on him, is turns out almost 3/4 of his body is white. There also what look like rings in the whitish area

The angel's white blotches are disappearing or getting smaller, so it must be flukes. Also he hasn't eaten in about a 5 days will the prazi make his hunger strike worse? I've also got angelixir coming on the way
