I just got these two clowns yesterday!
also how long does it take new clowns to eat? They are picking at it but not full eating yet

Thank you! I just got these two after my fallow period with brook. I’m a bit on edge about anything I see right now lol

When I get new fish I don't even bother trying to feed them the first day - too much change going on and they likely won't eat.
If they don't eat after that it could be that they don't like whatever food you're offering. Mine have not learned to eat pellets or flake food at all yet.

I tried pellets today and tomorrow I’ll try frozen. They were eating a bit and even had some interest but I think they are still nervous

Also does anyone know if my clowns will hurt this coral or will it be okay?

If you give the clowns a stick of dynamite, they will try to bond with it - Not the smartest fish but for eating generally within the first day. What foods are you offering ? Brine shrimp is always a good enticer

So is it okay that are hanging out with this coral? The coral doesn’t seem to mind so far.
They have not been in the tank for 24hrs yet. I fed some new life spectrum pellets and they ate a bit, one way more than the other. I’ve seen them all eating copepods though. Tomorrow I’ll feed frozen brine shrimp!
