ocilarus clown
 

I was wondering what is the best diet for my new clown, My tank is to new for a ananome, Will he like the nori for my tang. or do they like to eat more meat,or both??????????????/

Mine likes whatever I put in the tank... I feed him a combination of Formula 1&2 and frozen mysis shrimp. I have seen them eat nori in other tanks.

IME clowns are pigs! They will eat whatever you put in the tank and wiggle around looking hungry and want you to feed them more. They should have a good meaty source of protien tho so frozen mysis is a good choice - just be sure to thaw and rinse it before you put it in our tank. Mine also eat my homemade goop and seem to love it.

I alternate foods to give a little variety. I feed Hikari Marine S, Cyclopeeze, Frozen enriched Brine and frozen Mysis.

As mentioned they seem to eat just about anything you offer them, I found mine to be a little skittish at first when it came to feedins, but now as soon as I turn of my circulation they come up to the surface and will just about take the food out of my hand.

My clowns are absolute pigs, they fight my yellow tang for nori, they even eat a live feeder fish sometimes when i try to feed my lion!! The big clown takes a bite out of the fish and I can hear the crunch!

mind you, mine are saddlebacks so probably a little different.
