Clownfish eating/behaviour question

[jgiannini]

Hi All - I just put my first addition in to my tank yesterday...3 clownfish. All 3 were hiding in one of the caves in my liverock when I added them and weren't eating at all. Today, 2 of the 3 are out near the front of the tank, but the 3rd is still in hiding. I'm trying to feed them some mysid shrimp soaked in a little selcon, but they won't eat it. They were being fed pellets in the store, so will it just take them time to eat the mysid shrimp? Will the 3rd on eventually come out? Should I try some dried nori on a vegi clip? Thanks!

The 3rd is probably dead. Usually more than one pair of clownfish is not recommended unless you have a very large tank. They should take to the shrinp, but you may want to try some pellets too.
