One of my clowns loves algae. She'll devour nori if I put some in, and always follows my turbo snail for its leftovers. The only bites of algae I've seen my other clown try have been promptly spit out.

Younger clownfish love to eat it, there diet in the wild of algae is something crazy like 90%+ of Algae. My breeding clowns love brown algae as I suspect they believe it's a food source for their fry. (They also go more mad over rotifers then any enhanced food I put in),
 
My pair of clowns regularly go after the nori that I put out for the tang. They love the stuff, it's funny watching them all hit the buffet.
