I have a new clown in the tank about 1.5 weeks. I have not seen him eat. He lets food bounce off his head. He does not seem to be bullied he pals around with my goby and other clown all day. I feed mysis, Brine, fish eggs, pellets (2 kinds) and sea weed. soaked in garlic and not. He is the more maroon one with the goby.

Anything I can do? Does he look ok?

Clowns are sneaky so it could be eating when you're not looking! It sounds like you are feeding the right stuff. It is hard to tell from the picture if the fish has a sunken belly or is getting skinny. The active behavior sounds promising so I would suggest that you keep doing what you are doing and continue to monitor the fish.
