How long before a new fish should eat?

I have this very cool new flame hawkfish(highly recommended by Gerwin). Very active, swimming, hopping around, perching and watching. Problem is he isnt eating, he seems interested but wont come up and eat. Clowns eat everything. How long before I should start worrying? Thanks. Bud
