Depends on what level or preparedness you want to be at. Might want to get some brine shrimp going that you can gut load, if he's being a finicky feeder. Having some frozen PE mysis on hand helps too.

Is going to be quarantined? What size tank is he going in?

Make sure they have plenty of hiding places, lots of rock work, and algae to graze on. They are known to have a bad track record. My pair love flake food and mysis. They first just pecked at the rocks and glass, but not much anymore that they are eating what I feed. Mine came directly from Vanuatu and were very fat and alert. They pair I have are actually pretty bold and aggressive.
