Clownfish not eating

bitwise

I'm trying to get some advice.

I've had my pair of ocellaris clownfish for 2.5 years. The current aquarium they are in is a 43 gallon aquarium that has been running for about 6 months. My male clown hasn't eaten four days in a row. I usually feed rods, but today I switched it up and fed mysis - I still didn't see him feed. Also, he is mostly staying to a bottom corner of the aquarium. Visually he looks fine and even his gut size seems normal which is surprising because he hasn't been eating the frozen food.
 
i would suggest trying food enriched with garlic. i knew <a href="http://www.seafanreef.com/">Seafanreef.com</a> feed their fish food enriched with garlic and other vitamins, but i dont know if they sell the food itself.
 
Good news! The little guy ate today. I walked by the tank and saw him pull a particle in the water into his mouth and then spit it back out. I tried feeding right after that, and he ate.
