My fish isn't eating I fell like he going to starve to death I had him for 2 or 3 days and I need help he a clownfish

Did you just get him 2-3 days ago? Some fish take time to start eating again after moving to a new tank. And what are you feeding him?

A pic of the tank and fish.
A video better is better.
Please help us help you.
Not necessarily abnormal.
Maybe he’s snacking while your not looking.

Pellets

Ok

Id try frozen food as well.

What are the tank parameters? What other fish do you have in there?

Pellets

I’d feed something frozen like brine shrimp.

maybe think about adding some rocks into your tank. Rocks provide the biofilter that keeps your fish alive, it also provides hiding spots to fish and other animals so they can feel comfortable.

Also ensure those plastic plants are safe, many things will corrode away in salt water and can leach chemicals into the water.

Healthy fish (usually) take a while to starve to death purely due to lack of eating, but your tank looks brand new. How long has it been up and running? Did you cycle it before adding the clown?

Need to know what the parameters are for your tank.

Nitrates
Nitrites
Ammonia
Phosphates
Salinity

Been running week and 4 days

Live food is irresistible, check and see if any of the lfs in your area carry live brine shrimp.

Well I do know the salinity it's 10.022

Your tank is in a cycle right now. There is a major ammonia spike coming. It might already be happing and the fish is being poisoned. Did you add any filter media from an established tank? I am not sure about using clowns for cycles, I know others have done it, but it's really taxing on the fish. I am not surprised it doesn't want to eat. If you don't have a test kit for ammonia, see if your LFS can test it for you.

Acclimation is important as is the proper time to stock. How did you acclimate and for how long?
Pellets are an acceptable staple but not complete diet. Frozen mysis shrimp, spirulina brine shrimp, LRS fish frenzy and ocean nutrition flaked like formula 2 are good additions.
Is fish breathing normal or labored?
Any loss of color?

Pic you provided shows a lot of reflection from room and hard to clearly see the fish
