Maroon clown wont eat

I just got a maroon clown 2 days ago. He just hides behind all of my live rock and wont come out. I am scared that he isnt getting food and will starve. Any suggestions?

chop of the garlic from the store real fine and soak the food over night in it.

they like the smell the taste, and plus it has strong natural antibacterial qualities, so in general its just good for the fish anyways.
