What is age of tank and how and how long did you acclimate them?
What is salinity of tank?
Can’t open video on my device- you tube works best and under bright white intensity

Hello, if it has not eaten any food since you got it, and the other one has, I would say there is some issue with this clownfish that is not a contagious disease and not related to water quality - disease and water quality would affect both fish the same way.

This looks like it is a wild caught clownfish. Many wild caught clownfish are damaged during the process, and just do not thrive. Can you contact the store that you bought it from?

I might be wrong, in that case, we need more background information about the tank and the fish. That is explained in this post:

Remove the uneaten food to preserve water quality.
