help getting new ocellaris to eat

yes it's wild caught, about 1" or so. day 3 and it's still not eating. I don't have a store that sells garlic extreme or anything like that. Can i take garlic powder and add it to the food? i've tried brine shrimp, mysis shrimp, saltwater multi pack, flake, pellet. any suggestions? he's swimming around fine and has finally seen my RBTA and hangs out within 5-8" of it. just doesn't seem to want to eat.

well i think he's dead. Didn't see him last night and he's not been out yet today. He seemed very friendly, so i think he would have been out if he was still alive. Tried looking everywhere for him but can't find nemo! My bubble coral does look like it has eaten recently, but i don't feed them until today.
