Help getting new clown to eat

[ransomed4ever]

I just got a new saddleback clown 2 days ago to replace th eone from my pair that decided to jump from the tank. It is in QT. It is very active, fat, and healthy looking. I fed it some frozen "marine cuisine" yesterday (2nd day I had it) and it ate some just fine. When I tried to feed it tonight it kinda went for a few very small peices, but pretty much ignored the food. So I also tried formula 1 pellet, some frozen brine and some flake food, but it didn't really go for any of it either (it did try a little flake but spit it back out).
Any tricks to get it to eat, or is it possibly just not that hungry while getting used to its new home. Its tempting to want to put it into the display so it might have a chance to find what it likes there, but I know thats not the right thing to do.
I'm probably just jumping the gun and being my typical impatient self, but any suggestions would be appreciated.

Sometimes they won't eat for days when acclimating to a new tank. It is fine, I would not worry, a healthy clown can go without food for a week before it will have problems. I would just offer a tiny amount, if it eats, give more, if it dosen't you don't want to increase your bioload unnessesarily. Good luck : )

FYI- My clowns won't eat flakes, I feed mysis, Rods, pelleted food. (switch from brine to mysys, more nutricious)

I need to get more rods, but I got to drive an hour to the nearest place that sells it. Kinda ironic since its actually closer to where he actually makes it, but from what I can tell from the forums he isn't selling direct to the public anymore.

I had trouble getting my picassos to eat for the first few days. I bought the San Francisco Bay Brand mysis. They immediately began taking it. If you're still having trouble I would recommend using some garlic too.
