Not really. It doesn't eat algae.

Frozen or freeze dried  Brineshrimp and/or Mysis are a better choice. If thats not an option then at least a good quality marine flake.

Mine eat a mixture of Formula one flakes (with garlic) and pellets, frozen mysis and blood worms and thawed uncooked shrimp torn up into small pieces.  They are little pigs plus they also bring food back to feed their anemones.

ok, is nls are good??
thx again.

Krill and herring are the first two ingredients so it should be allright if you can get them to take it 

A clown is not as picky as say a Cardinal fish, which would rather starve to death than eat processed food. But after being introduced on freshly hatched artimea and grown on gut-loaded brine and freeze-dried mysis mine wont touch a flake or pellet. I've tried several including some left over nls.

Good luck with your new clownfish

My ocellaris and maroon clowns eat everything what I ever tried, probably except nori.
I prefer diversity in food, so it could be frozen mysis, plankton, BS, etc. as well as all kinds of pellets, flakes...

you should provide them with a variety of food like others have said. I feed mysis, brine shrimp, formula-2 pellet, cyclopeeze, etc...

My clowns will eat pretty well anything I feed.  As previously stated they are little pigs.  As soon as I open the door on my aquarium stand, they get all excited just at the prospect that I'll be feeding something.

I would have to agree to what has been said.. I would feed frozen food, and pellets.. NLS is fine, I feed that aswell as frozen to my tank.
