I've seen clowns be very picky about particle size till they get settled in. You might try chopping the food up a bit.

A few more residents added from LA and DD. Got here this morning and all are eating everything.
QT buddies lol. Yellow Prawn Goby and Red Head Solon Fairy Wrasse
Red Head Solon Fairy Wrasse
Purple Dottyback
Pair of cards
And of course the tang is doing great, he's a pig lol, I tried adding the wrasse into his section of the qt, that lasted 2 minutes. The tang gets to stay by himself lol, aggressive little guy.

you have a beautiful collection going! if all of these fish are on the same qt system, you will have to "start the clock over" with each fish you add.
i have added several fish after my kole tang and have never had a problem with aggression. mine is very peaceful. never could get him to eat nori but he does love those new era feeding rings.

Yes the clock was reset, last addition until these guys are finished, still want a dwarf angel but that's going to be last. Once he's in the main tank he should be ok I hope lol. And since he'll be in there last, an additional 5 days in the qt shouldn't hurt him. He won't eat the nori off the clip, but I found if i leave it in there a couple hours pieces break off and he then eats it lol, so I only put a small strip in there. I'll have to try the rings, he loves the new era algae pellets so if the rings are the same that should work, he needs something to graze on, the things a pig! It was cool the way he protected his pvc pipe when the wrasse tried to get in it, he backed his rear up and pushed him out, then went after it.

For got to mention I lost the one maroon clown that the other beat up in the bag 3 days in. I didn't think he'd make it but I wanted to give him a chance. Not happy with that lfs I got them from. One was in the tank with the tang the other in another tank so I figured they put the tang and his clown together but they put both clowns in the same bag. Partly my fault to, I should have made sure they were separated, but I assumed they would know that.

So far everyone's happy and eating everything I've tried so far. I had the tang and wrasse in adjoining sections of my qt and they would swim back and forth together most of the day so I moved the wrasse to the tangs section again and they are inseperable now lol. Maybe I'll have the first wr'ang babies and be famous 
the only fish in my tank that i have not seen go after the feeding rings are my 2 longnose hawkfish. everything else, even my little tail-less goby, grazes on it. all of my fish except my kole tang are on the small side so the ring doesn't get completely eaten. after a few hours, what's left of it falls to the sand bed. i have seen my plate coral eat pieces of it as well as the snails and hermits. several times, my big ole brittle star will swoop in and grab the whole thing, down the hatch!
