I've had this clownfish for about 6 days and it won't eat. It's by itself and is still too afraid to come up to the surface to try pellets or flakes. I've tried spot feeding with defrosted marine cuisine but it ignores the food. The clown is in a tank by itself and is always timid and hanging close to a hiding spot. Water parameters are good and I see no signs of illness. Is there something I can do that might coax it to eat?
