At what salinity are you keeping him? Green-spotteds are high-end brackish fish, so the salt should be near marine-strength.
I checked your previous question to see if you had additional info there. Some things to know about this species is that are they sensitive to ammonia and nitrites in their water, and they need to be fed a proper diet so the beak can be worn down so they can eat properly - clams, cockles, shrimp, etc. with the shell on. They're aggressive with tankmates, so are best kept one to a tank. Also, they are tropical and will do best in temperatures 76-82o.
If your fish was a recent purchase, it may just still be getting used to your tank and acting shy. Does he have a good hiding spot? Sometimes shy fish will be more active if there are multiple hiding places it knows it can dive into if it feels threatened.
Maybe you could post more specifics about your tank, recent water tests, and how the fish is acting.
