I transferred my fire clown fish from my 2 gallon pico to my 10 gallon frag tank and ever since he hasn't wanted to eat, he normally gets excited when ever i come near the tank. I'm not sure if he is stressed or is if he is just lonely.

And the water chemistry is fine? Do you have any frozen food or cyclopeez? It has been my experience that clowns can stop eating for several days during acclimation, while it's would seem like moving the clown from one tank to another fully cycled tank would fine the clown might still be acclimating. If you see no physical sign of disease or symptoms, the water chemistry is in check than I would not be too concerned. If the clown does not begin to eat in a a day or two then I would be more suspicious.
 
Tested the water of both tanks before transfer and they were almost the same surprisingly and he shows no signs of disease. Yes, i do have frozen foods
