My black clown has stopped eating...i've tried bloodworms, flakes, brine shrimp, krill and he won't eat it. I bought him about a week ago and he seemed fine but he has now separated himself from the other clown in the tank (i added them at the same time) he just sits under a rock and never moves? He hasn't turned all black yet so maybe he is stressed i don't know. Anyone know anything about clown behaviour?

He didn't make it through the night

Sorry to hear about your clown.  Maybe it had a health issue when you got it.  When I introduced a saddleback clown to my tank, the 2 other clowns (percs) I have were quite agressive to it.  It took a couple of days before they became buddies.  I have heard however, that due to their territiorial nature they do not always take well to a new inhabitant.  Hopefully, if you get another, you will have better success.
