New clownfish- is this normal?

[SaltyB24]

This is my first clownfish so I’m not sure if this is normal behavior? I purchased him from my LFS 4 days ago and he has stayed in the top corner of the tank. The first night he explored a little bit and ate frozen brine/mysid mix well. Since then I have not noticed him eating much of anything. I’ve tried the sinking pellets and the other pellets I use for my other salt tank. He is in a tank that’s been cycled well over a month with aquacultered rocks from KP Aquatics. There is a cleaner shrimp and a few different kinds of snails and hermits in there who are all fine. Is he just getting adjusted? Is it because he’s by himself? He’s maybe an inch long.

A lot of my fish sort of surfed along the glass just like that when I first introduced them. I'm not sure why, but I am assuming it's some response to the stress of being put into a new environment.

Normal.
Needs to eat.

Any suggestions on what to do to entice him to eat? I feed the frozen at night and have tried the sinking pellets and the other flaked food as well in the mornings and he hasn't seemed to be fond of any of them. I've tried turning the wave maker and the pump off as well in case the flow was too strong and that hasn't seemed to make a difference either.

The food could be too big for it and may need to be crushed up - mine had trouble eating pellets when small.
Clowns do weird things so “normal behavior” goes out the window for them. Though, does the fish look or act off in any other ways? Any odd appearance like white spots or slime? Just to rule out potential disease, which is quite common in marine fish and can become a problem if fish aren’t quarantined.

Since its the first fish in this tank I am feeding like 1/16 of the frozen cube and I will dissolve it in tank water so there's varying sized pieces in that I will trying mashing it up smaller tonight. The sinking pellets are about the size of an eraser so I figured those were too large to eat whole but I figured he may peck at them. I feed the hermits those and they break up pretty easy. The flakes are very small though so I don't know why he wont eat those.

No, I don't think he looks off or is acting funny. My other fish (in another tank) have never acted like this though so I didn't know if he was, "being a clown) or not. My LFS does a 30 day quarantine in a copper system but I have still been checking him religiously. He has no spots/slime on him.
