problems with my nemo

Hello everyone !!
I am very worried about one of my clown fishes.
This is how it started.
Last month we moved to our new apartment and so it took us 2 days to move our 37 gal. tank
We lost almost all the pulsing xenas, but besides that everything was fine until now.Since 2 weeks ago my little true percula doesn't wanna eat or swim around he just stands by one little hairy mushroom that i have and that's it, i really don't know what to do, should i just let him be? or what should i do? he looks fine, he's just not eating or swimming

How are your water parameters since the move? Did you go through another cycle or was it pretty smooth? What other fish are in the tank, and is anyone bothering it? What foods have you tried to entice it with?

I hope your clown is alright.
Have you tried seeing if he can swim alright? With your hand or a little net, try slowly bringing it near him, and see if he can swim away properly, navigating your tank.
Try using a turkey baster to squirt food near him. Does he react to the smell?

Just a hunch your clown may be blind. Hopefully not, but last year, I noticed my clownfish one day stop eating and swimming. Two weeks later, I realized he was blind. A year later, he's still alive. I just feed him with a turkey baster.

Hay did You move to the Mill in Mill Creek?

Fish in general need to readjust after a move, even if they are in the same tank.

Did you use most of the old tank water during the move? How was the temperature (you said it took 2 days)?

I would try to minimize disturbing the clown for a day. You can place a cloth or something over the front of your tank. Feed once in the morning, and later in the evening. Try mysis shrimp or Formula 1 frozen food. Mine seem to go nuts with those foods. If it is still not eating, I would try live foods.

Thank you guys,
Well yesterday i checked the water and it came like this ph is 8.2, the temperature is 75 to 78, amonia is 0.25 , nitrite is 0 ,nitrate is 0 and alk says that it's normal.
About the water we made 20 gals and we filled the rest of the tank with the old water, but for this we waited 5 days i believe in order to put all the live stock in.
I only have my 2 clowns and a damsel so no fish bothers him, i feed formula 1 to my fishes and a little bit of formula 2 and before this he used to love it, now everytime i try to feed him, he does react to the smell i believe, but he just doens't wanna go away from the hairy mushroom and i've seen little pieces going by him and he just doesn't really care.
i'm starting to think that he's on a diet or that he has an upset belly The only one that i see getting fater and bigger is the female.
Ohh neighbour i didn't move to the mill in mill creek lol, but i'm near the semi new super market.

my clown is finally eating after 2 weeks of not eating.
I really don't know why he acted like that but i'm very happy that finally he had some food.
thank you all for your opinions, i will keep checking on him in case something happens
