Clownfish not eating?

Hey guys,

I've got my Fancy Whites that I got about a week ago, they're tank bred and used to eating pellet food. They've been in my tank for about a week now, a Gigantia Carpet is in the tank with them (Which theyre not hosting yet) but only one of them will really eat....

The larger (female) clown seems to eat whatever I put in the tank, but the smaller (male) clown seems to eat one pellet MAYBE once in a while, usually eating and spitting it back out, tried with flake food and even mysis and still nothing.. He seems to be chasing his reflection in the glass a lot too..

Is he just stressed? He came from a fairly small tank to a 24G Cube..

Just the clowns in the tank. Water params are perfect with an RO change of 20% every week.

They're a mated couple, always sleep together in the same corner, nice and calm. I shut off the current in the tank when I feed to make sure they get the food but he doesnt even seem interested..
Thanks!
 
yeah post a pic. usually when i see the two lower fins retract to the stomach thats when i know something is wrong. is it breathing fast?
 
A hungry clown will eventually eat no matter what. They won't starve for very long. They are stubborn. Glad he is eating.
