Hi,
I got two maroon clowns about 4 days ago they are big and fat seemed healthy at the store but since they got home they haven't eaten at all I'm worry now it's gonna be a week already they're very active and both paired with my bubble rose anemone after 2 days in the tank I feed my fish brine shrimp, flakes and seaweed!
How can I make my clowns to start eating before they both starve to death?
 
Try adding some garlic to kick up the feeding frenzy. It's helped over time
 
We have maroon clowns and they eat everything. Try to feed them some new life spectrum pellets as our clowns love the pellets. Brine shrimp doesn't have any nutrition and would switch to krill or Mysis if you can to mix up the food.
 
I have a large set of wild white stripes that took a while to eat, about two weeks if I remember correctly. Larry feeding frenzy did the trick.
 
I had the same issue with my clowns. Wouldn't touch anything for 5 days. On the 6th day it was like two different fish. Now they race to the surface for 1mm pellets.
 
also if you soak food in Garlic Guard they will go crazy for it ..did that with a sick fish that wasn't eating soaked in Garlic Guard and he went right for it
