HI, so I recently got a valentini puffer fish (i have clown wrasse and 2 clowns) I havent seen it eat I tried mysis, clams, snails. I has developed ich since I added it to my tank all other fish are fine. I stays hidden and doesnt swim a lot although it doesnt look too bad. What should I try feeding it? and what should I do thanks in advance.

Welcome to the forum!
Have you tried target feeding the fish? its still new and stressed and may need some help finding food in its new environment. You can try ghost shrimp to get a feeding response. I’d make sure it’s teeth aren’t overgrown and that it can eat.

The ich may also be suppressing its appetite. Since the puffer has it, it’s safe to assume all fish do now and need to be treated.
