I have 2 black/white ocellaris clowns, and the three shrimp I added to the tank are DESPERATE to clean them. The clowns simply aren't having it. Could this be because they are tank raised and have never seen/experienced this behavior before or because they just aren't usually ok with being cleaned in general?

Any advice on anything I could possibly do to foster this interaction? Any fish (besides tangs) that I should include on the fish list in the future to interact with the shrimp?
 
You should add a Midas blenny or royal gramma basslet. Fire fish and jewfish are also recommendable

Planning on adding a gramma Friday.

Don't think a goliath grouper will fit though...
