My clownfish keeps spitting out his food!

[carolineclownfish]

I’ve had my clownfish for 1 year approximately and for the past 3 days he keeps spitting out his food. I’ve tried soaking it in garlic xtreame but he still wont eat it. I’m getting worried! I did a water check and everything in good. Any tips?

Welcome to Reef2Reef!!! Do you have access to frozen food? I've also had luck with ME Coral's soft pellet fish food (@marke). Good luck with your fish!

Have you noticed any other symptoms aside from not eating? Photos under white lighting would be helpful. Welcome to R2R.

Welcome to the forum!
Pics may help to make sure it’s nothing external.
Have you changed the food at all? Any aggression from other fish?

Welcome to the community. Clownfish are not funny at all and quite confrontational and vicious, in fact.
