Normally a greedy fish....and can become a bully when food is concern....

When did you buy it? Any sign of sickness when you bought it?

sometimes....fishes takes a couple of days to aclimatise..

anemone once in awhile (abt a week) with chopped market prawn... just leave it there on the tentacles and it will eat it.

my harlequin tuskfish did the same thing and I suggest you take it out and treat it quickly in a quarantine tank! I was too late to treat it and it died on me a few days later. Sometimes fishes come in with internal parasites and with the added stress and shipment , it starts to manifest in them gradually. I agree , it's a beautiful but expensive fish to have and I'm sure you want to see it last. I hope you can take it out and treat it properly because it will not come out from hiding.

If I'm not wrong, its having bladder problem (which could be the after effects from the cyanide)

In any case, can try hyposalinity treatment to try to induce liquid diffusion and force the air out of its bladder.
