You need to have a talk with him. Tell him he needs to eat the mussel and not sleep on the mussel.Don't feed him any ghost shrimp for a couple of days and try the mussel again. I only feed mine every 3 days. It's ok to skip a few days of feeding. This will also give him time to get settled.

edmlfc1, wait a bit before you try again.
keep soaking the food in the garlic, eventually it should entice him to eat it

Good News! I get home from work today and I have this handsome fellow to greet me at the front of the glass wagin his tail like a dog. I threw in a mussel and he chowed down, didn't overeat though. Now he is cruising around checking out his new home.

This guy seems like he's got quite the personality - that pic you posted of when he took the mussel with him back to his little hole made me laugh out loud.

Does it look like white spot?
That was a literal LOL picture, by the way, with the mussel.

I am not sure if it is sand or white spot.

By the way, you should try clearing up that photo digitally and submitting it to Puffer of the Month.
