What are some things I can feed my maroon clowns? I've been feeding new life spectrum mini pellets but they're getting bored of eating the same food every day. Is there some sort of shrimpy foods they can eat?
 
frozen mysis shrimp or brine shrimp would be good. Brine shrimp dont really have much nutritional value so they are more as a treat for them. There are a bunch of other frozen foods just for marine fish as well. I recommend going to a local fish store to buy mysis or brine because you can get a lot of them for a fairly cheap price whereas places like petco sell the frozen cubes which are fairly expensive.
 
Frozen mysis.
Thaw in tank water, feed small amounts, leave the pumps on so they have to chase it down.
 
They will eat fresh meat too. May have to cut it up small. Clam meat, shrimp, mussels, whatever you can get from the grocery. They may give you a funny look if you ask for one shrimp.
 
I recommend getting some Reef Frenzy if you can. Your fish will love it!
 
I feed my clowns whatever I find in the fresh fish cabinet at the local market - also sometimes sardines when I am feeding them to the pups here.
