L600 not eating

[Godzilla1986]

I got a 3 inch L600 4 days ago. I got him a Terra Cora pot and small piece of drift wood so he could hide and chill in my tank. He is with my 11inch Asian Arowana and no other tank mates.
He hasn’t eaten or moved from under the drift wood for 3 days now. I have check on him at night as well he is in the same position. He just moves a few centimeters forward or back but basically is just there. I really like him and want him to start being active and eat. I dropped chopped market prawns 1 night back he did not eat. And yesterday I dropped an algae wafer it’s untouched and disintegrated as shown in the third image.

what do I do to get him to eat ?

I am not surprised he is not moving. He is under the only cover in a big, bare, gleaming and unfamiliar tank.

So do I add more drift wood, I have many more pieces. Substrate is not an option for me. My sump will get clogged.

I have done this and I believe he has so many spots including driftwood and small caves including a terracotta ca
I hope it’s sufficient for one pleco.

When do I expect him to eat now
