FB fan question: Occelaris clownfishes won't eat! Help!

FACEBOOK FAN QUESTION:

I got two occelaris clownfishes about 1 1/2 weeks ago. They don't seem to be doing well. They are not eating my flake food and not swimming around much too. The only other fish i have is a domino damsel that is doing fine. Do you have any ideas of what the problem is?

Any advice for our friend?

I know that none of my fish that I have like pellets or flakes. I have had good luck with feeding them frozen foods for carnivores. Also my fish go crazy over my homemade food which has shrimp and scallops in it. You can try feeding them either raw shrimp or scallops, just need to make sure that the pieces are small enough to fit into their mouth. Good luck

try using some frozen food with garlic. I had same issue with my first clowns and the reason was because i rushed tings and added fish before my tank was ready.
