New Clownfish eating issue

[Aggie1978]

New Tank - 100 gal. - after 2 months (completely cycled after 3 weeks). All parameters perfect. Yesterday I just introduced my first fish - 2 Clownfish after 4 weeks in quarantine. During quarantine they were eating just fine (ME Coral soft pellets & Spirulina flakes). Fish are very active showing no signs of stress, but now they are spitting out the pellets and not interested in the flakes. Is this normal since they might be stressed to the new environment? Why would they spit out the pellets today when 2 days ago they were gorging on them?

I would give them some time. My clowns did the exact same for about three days (they were infants) and I was scared too. Give them time and try feeding several times a day.
