I purchased a Gold stripe maroon clown at the lfs on Saturday. That was 3 days ago and all she has done is hide in my live rock and won't eat. I have 2 damsels and a coral banded shrimp and nobody is ganging up on her (she is about 5X their size). I feed my other fish flakes & brine which I read is what clownfish eat, so why is she not eating - is this normal behavior or is something wrong??

Well........................YES!
I would consider it to be normal behavior!
I have a cinnamon clown and it took
about 6+ days to get it to eat! So don't be scared :scared:
If it don't eat the first day you bring it home!
Ill give you some tipps on how to gett it feeding faster.
I suggest you buy an anemone if you have money, if you don't
try this. Gett some brine in a container and use
a baster to suck up some shrimp. Blow it buy the other fish so
thy have some thing to keep them sidetrack. Then
blow some buy the clown. Do it in till it starts to eat!
Hope this was some help TNT!
