sick porcupine fish

[katb36]

hi all, my porcupine fish is displaying some unusual behaviour firstly he is off his food swimming up and down the tank quite eratic then falls to bottom and looks scared and stressed with darker colouring than normal. We last fed him a huge tiger prawn 3/4 days ago could he just be digesting the food ?? anyone else seen this kind of behaviour? thanks for any replies

How long have you had it? How big of a tank? How big is he? What are the water parameters?
