Am I reading this wrong? You added the clown to START the cycle..you hadn't cycled the tank? There's a problem if you are using the clown to cycle the tank...could you make this a bit more clear??

I have cycled the tank with live rock for 3 weeks and checked nitrite and nitrate levels throughout before I added the one maroon clown.

I have had luck with feeding live brine, when the brine swim around the clowns go crazy and eat them...I have used this on numerous fish that wouldnt eat..Hope that helps

One should always make sure they're eating and what before you spend the dollars...ya there eating, don't take the store's word...have them feed them.
I had one fish [ Regal Angel ] at Hidden Reef for a week until it ate, now he's
a great eater even the odd pellet.

he's still not eating unfortunately....

he didn't look too good in the store - we should have spent the extra time to hang around and watch him some more...

i thought he was dead a few times today - but he keeps coming back to life... he's still not eating so it doesn't look good... :-(
