I just bought it and they store people told me to give it frozen food. I give it taht but it doesnt it eat. I gave it flakes and it also doesnt eat them. Is it just getting adjusted to the new tank?

Yes, you are probably right that it's just getting adjusted to the new environment. Give it another day or two and I bet it will start eating.

He is probably just getting used to the new tank. He'll probably like the frozen food, as long as it's something marine and not too big for him to eat. They should have something with some seaweed in it for vegetable matter, but will aslo eat brine shrimp, plankton, mysis, and other foods. He'll be healthier if you give him some variety, and don't feed him the same thing all the time.
You may want to double check your temperature (76-80), salinity (1.020-1.026), pH (8.0-8.4), and ammonia (0), nitrite (0), and nitrate levels (<30) just to be sure they are within the range where he'll do best.

It's lonely. Fish travel in schools because they enjoy the company of other fish. It makes them feel secure.
