Is my clown sick?

I added two true perc clowns to my newly cycled tank four days ago. I watched both of these fish eat at the LFS. The tank is a 75g w/29g sump/fuge. First about the fish then my water. One of the fish eats great. The other fish does not eat at all. I have fead flake, pellets, frozen mysis shrimp, and frozen brine shrimp. The fish that is eating only turned down the flake. I tried a little garlic with mysis shrimp and that did not help either. The fish looks healthy and does swim around a little but she is not active as the other clown. Does this fish have a disease or parasite of some sort? Like I said earlier I cannot see anything wrong with the fish.

Personally I wouldnt get nervous yet. Four days isnt that long, Ive heard fish going longer when introduced into a new system. If there are no visual signs of sickness, id giver her a few more days. She should eat when she gets hungry enough. Do you know what she was fed at the LFS?
