Help??

How do I gain my clownfish’s trust? lol, it’s a weird question but in my rank I currently have a 6-Line, damsel and the clownfish. The 6 line is tiny compared to the other 2 and the clownfish was put in at the same time as the damsel. My problem is however that the moment I walk in my room my clownfish will run to a corner and hide and not move. He’s clearly swimming around because I see him as he then proceeds to hide.. only had these guys for a couple of days as compared to my 6-line, but I haven’t seen him eat anything since he hides when I feed them. Might be a minor problem but would an anemone help?

It’s a 20 gal long, I’ll put a picture
Uhhh this weekend so like literally 3-4 days ago, but I’ve had the 6-line wrasse in there for like 3 weeks with no food just eating flatworms
I only feed 1-2 times a day, don’t wanna over feed
(You can see him hiding next to the heater since I’m in the room)

so, you put 3 fish in at around the same time?
and that tank is WAAAYYY too agressive
i would remove damsel, and the 6 line, or keep damsel and remove the 6 line. then thats all the fish
the clown is likely showing a sign of bullying, or just scared of you.

Uhh in a sense? 6-line was in there for at least a month before I added 2 at the same time.
I had to go with the slightly more aggressive route since I needed the 6-line to end my flatworms
All the fish are doing great and none have fought(for now) but it’s just the clown doesn’t like me lol
