He might be molting. If his mouth is moving I'd say he's ok. Try dropping a piece of food in front of him. He should gobble it up. If he doesn't, then I'd say you have a problem!
 
I just fed them brine shrimp as well which he had a few chances to grab but there is some thera pellets next to him but he's not moving much at all when I found him he was half way stuck in a rock so I moved him he also just ate 2 days ago a pretty decent size cleaner shrimp not all but pieces

They usually eat everything in sight in my experience. I guess just keep an eye on him. Good luck.
