GSP not eating and belly turning grey

I’ve had my puffer for about a month now and he was doing fine. He outgrew the 5 gallon I started him in so I moved home to a 10 gallon recently. I had no problem with him until I moved him. After I moved him he was doing fine for a couple days. Then his belly started turning grey and it looked like he always had a full stomach. Now he will not eat no matter what I give him. He has been laying down, but still seems to swim normally. Please help.

I would never put even a 1" juvie in <10g. How large is it now? How are you cycling the tank? What are the exact parameters?

I had a SAP with very similar problems.
Is his belly fully grey in color, or are they grey patches? If it’s patches, then that and the not eating could be stress. Seeings you just moved him, the not eating can be completely normal for any fish, since he has to get used to his surroundings.
