How long have you had the clown fish, is he exhibiting any other symptoms such as lethargy, spots etc. If you haven't had him that long how did you acclimate him to your tank?

More information is needed. Just because he isn't eating doesn't warrant moving him to a QT tank.

Ok so my initial suspicions weren't correct. Can you snap a couple of photos of him and post them in this thread? You said there was something hanging off him and a picture would help in trying to identify what might be possibly wrong.

if he had things "hanging off of him", moving him to a QT tank does sound like a good idea. sounds like a possible fungus or something. hard to tell without a picture or better discription of course.

have you tried live brine shrimp? fish seem to always accept that. although its not high in nutrients, it is still food. thats better then nothing.

in my experience a fish that is not eating at all... has either an internal parasite or some other type of illness.
