I just introduced a true percula clownfish into my newly established marine aquarium a few days ago. The first night I put him in he and his 6line wrasse companion (also new) were eating their froze mysa shrimp happily. It was either that night or the day after I had a lot of work to do, so I was up most of the light, so there was always some indirect light into the aquarium, which leads me to beleive the clown, at least, didn't get much of a rest that night. The day after that he was very sluggish most of the time, and wasn't eating. That night he had a good 7 hours of darkness, and the day or two since he's been swimminng fine and seems happy, but he still is uninterested in eating. I checked him out and he doesn't seem to have any visible disease.
I was actually more conscerned about the 6line wrasse not doing well because of their tendency to not ship healthy, but he's doing fine. Any ideas why the clown won't eat?
