Clown Acting Weird

[HiepNotik]

My new clown I just got is acting wired he like to swim along the glass rubbing his body over and over. and he has not eat anything since the day I put him in. Anyone else clown does this? is this normal? and what can I do to get him eating. The LFS I got it from feeds him shrimp eggs, I tried feeding him NLS GROW, Mysis, Brine, and Cyclope Eze but he hasn't eat any of those. should I try some garlic?

Thanks

What species of Clownfish are we talking about here and what size, i.e. is he fairly small/young? The first Clown I purchased was a small Maroon and he swam back & forth along the glass for a week without eating. No idea where he got the energy after a few days of that without apparently eating. In the LFS tank he had just hovered calmly in the corner near a rock, so I assumed he would do the same when I placed him in my tank. Wrong!
Give him a few more days and I'm sure once he's hungry enough, he'll start taking food. Maybe try hatching some live brine shrimp to see if that will catch his interest.
