Feeding concern

[TheGuyWho]

I just got two tank raised Ocellaris clowns over the weekend. 1 small and 1 large (to establish dominance without a problem.) Maybe Im being overly observant, but my big one doesn't seem to eat near as much as my small one or any of my other fish. I mean, she eats, but only a flake or two whereas the other smaller fish run around crazy grabbing everything they can. Is this normal or something to be concerned about? Thanks.
Oh, and Im only feeding them flake food right now.

Anybody out there? This is the right section, right?

Well...... It didn't make it.
I tried feeding it some frozen food, some brine shrimp, but it wouldn't eat anything... wasn't even interested. I found it this morning, hard as a rock. Im really bummed right now, and the little one seems to be too.

What should I do now, or so that this doesn't happen again? Should I get another one or two or just leave the other one in there alone for a while? Water tested fine again btw... Any ideas why this happened?
Thanks.

Looks like nobody was too interested in helping you out!!

Have you gotten a replacement yet? If you haven't I would focus on asking your LFS some questions before you purchase the clowns. Usually they are very hardy but I Have noticed in my store that immediately after shipping they may not eat for several days. Taking them home in that state adds additional stress that some fish can't handle. Usually the clown will not eat for one to two days after taking home, but after that they should be voracious feeders.

Let me know what you have done!
