BLUE TANG LAYING ON SIDE

I got my blue tang 2 days ago. All of my other fish are fine(clownfish and firefish). I have heard that it 'plays dead' but it's just lying on its side and not moving at the bottom of the tank. Should I be worried it's dead? I know they do this if they are stressed but I guess I'm freaking out since it's my first time seeing it do that.

They can and will do this when stressed out. I would keep and eye on it though and pull him if you see ich or anything like it's colour starting to fade. 

What size tank so you have and what are the parameters?
