They've still only been in your system for several days, correct? When I introduced the first Maroon clownfish into my system, he didn't eat for a week. Was still a juvenile and did laps along the glass during the day, relaxed at night. I know yours are a different species and behaving differently, but I don't think it's a major cause for concern yet, since they are both eating, one more than the other, but eating nonetheless. I have no idea where mine got the energy to do laps for a week without eating and I was panicking wondering what to do. After the first week he settled right down and started eating regularly.
You mention your clowns were in an anemone at the LFS. Is there one in your system for them as well? If not, they're likely a little shocked at being displaced from their host anemone. Give it a few more days and with any luck they'll get over the shock of new surroundings and settle in.
Edit: Just noticed your parameter nos. Ammonia 0-0.1 & Nitrite, Nitrate 0? Is this a newer system, perhaps still cycling? Ideally your Ammonia level should be at 0 before introducing any livestock...
