Ok picked up my clownfish yesterday made sure they ate really well at the store. got them home and acclimated them to same salinity did it over 3 hours from 1.020 to 1.025.
hydroplex dip for 10 min. Did the two bath in the safety stop rapid fish quarantine. tried feeding them the new life spectrum pellets after the acclimation did not eat figured it was where it was pellets since they did not feed them that at the store. when had about 15 min left on the first bath of the safety stop tried feeding them small piece of the WWC reef feed. Picked at it didn't really eat. finished the baths and all put them in QT tank for the night this morning tried feeding them a small piece of frozen mysis. Barely even looked at it. They where feeding a mix of all the food in first picture except for the pellets. Of course that was for all the different types of fish in their display. Was planning on starting the copper this morning but with them not eating do not think I should. which food do you think I should try next. Can not really go out and buy anything right now with the storm going on. should I go ahead and start the copper anyways?

An unstressed clown will happily eat any of those. They are just stressed out from acclimation and their new homes. TRUST me, you will have no problems getting them to eat once they are comfy.

kind of figured. should I go ahead and start the copper than?
 
IMO, if the fish shows now sign of disease and QT is being used as a prevention method then I would give the clowns a couple days to settle in and begin eating before treatment.
 
now that my internet has been restored after the hurricane. I started the copper and fish have been eating great.
