    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    All you can really do at this point is just watch him.

    I to have fretted over many a clownfish. It's not unusual for clown fish not to eat much for a few days while acclimating.

    Good luck, clowns are very resilient.

    It's only been two days. You said it accepted some brine shrimp. I'd say your okay. Be patient and everything should work out fine.
