My clowns haven’t shown interest in mysis shrimp. Last night I noticed the one starting to show skeleton today when feeding didn’t eat the mysis (although showed interest in wanting too) and I noticed it more. Is she just hungry or is there something else wrong?

Maybe try a different type of food, pellets etc
 
Some things I can think. Toxins or some medicines, stress from others, internal bacteria or parasites, constipation, and may be old food. Getting skinny likely not old food or constipation. If you have a clove of garlic put a thin slice in while food thaws it might help get it to eat. Also yes try a different food if you have any.
 
Just from my own experience btw I’m new to the hobby I feed my two clowns (they’re small right now) mysis sometime and they only go after the smaller pieces so maybe try unthawing the mysis and try crushing the pieces up a little more. Or try small pellets, assuming your clowns aren’t very big.
