Hi I bought a clown fish yesterday and not sure if I'm getting paranoid but clown fish not feeding and he's just keeping in the corner of my tank swimming in the current is this normal cause he's in a new environment

Yes it is quite typical of a new clown to pick a corner for a few days. If it still acts like that after a week or so then I would start to be a little concerned

Ok what about the feeding as I havent seen it eat yet he's my first fish

May take him a day or 2 before he settles in and eats. What are you trying to feed him?

start feeding them whatever the LFS did. Then you can switch him to the food of your choice.

I'm trying to feed him shrimp

It will take a few days. Most fish due this because of the amount of stress from the store and how long they had it. Also the transport to your home aquarium.

I had one that wouldn't host anything and hung out in the top corner for months. Eating is key though. Once it starts eating than your good to go. New life spectrum is good and has garlic which is tasty for fish. If he was eating at the store I would use what. They were feeding like said earlier.
