My mom said that the water is tested OK.
What is OK? What is the PH in the morning and evening? What is the temperature? Have you tested for ammonia or nitrites?

They are not interested in the food when the food dropped on their face. How will feeding the other side of the tank draw them out?

where did you get the fish from..also where they swimming around in the stores tank when you bought hem or eatting in the store .

If your water check out ok ,which i see its fine ,if you have corals you ,may want to bring you the SG to 1.025/26 .

One more thing ,do you have a QT tank ,if so try to put them in that tank ,if not ,i would leave them alone for a day or so

and one more thing ,try to feed at nite when the light are off .

Hope it works out for you

They swim around a green anemone and they were eating before I got them.

***
Garlic and selcon did not work
Letting them alone to get used to the tank did not work
Feeding them from the other side did not work

ONE OF THEM DIE!

Sorry one of them died. Have you tried to buy a fake anemone similar in color to the one they had before? See if that works, sometimes the separation anxiety is alot for them to bear. Also are they wild caught or tank bred. I have tank bred clowns and no problems with them at all.
