Semi-Picasso clownfish not eating!

[ianglish]

3 days ago, I purchased a pair of ORA semi-Picasso clownfish. I bought them from a very nice store in San Francisco. They have beautiful live stock there. When it came time to feeding them, I noticed that only one of the clownfish was eating. 3 days later, it is still not eating. I am starting to get worried about it. I have tried feeding it ORA Glo pellets, New Life Spectrum Thera+A pellets, frozen brine shrimp with spirulina, frozen mysis shrimp, and live brine shrimp from my LFS. The other clownfish seems to like all of this, while the other doesn't touch any of it. Is there anything else I could try? Should I just give the fish a little more time to get use to the tank? Please give me all your suggestions! Thank you

imo clownfish can be picky sometimes. i recently bought 2 clowns, 1 false, 1 b&w false. false ate perfectly but B&W wouldnt eat for 2 days. they were from petco and i was lucky i got the deal of $30 for the B&W and was like damn i know petco has a bad rep on fish but this is a good deal here. so finally i guess after a couple of days of starving he/she started to eat.
