Best food for clowns???

[dcflyers7]

Just got a juvenile ocellaris clown, and after 3 days, its still not eating much. Right now I have 3 foods, "Bio-blend pellets", "Formula 1 flakes", and frozen brine shrimp. He nips at the flakes and pellets, but doesn't really eat them, and I'll probably try some brine shrimp tonight. He doesn't look stressed at all. His color is good, and his breathing is normal. He swims around fine, well, at least as good as clowns can swim that is...

Anyway, any recommendations for other food types that he might take? What about those frozen mysis shrimp, are they good for the fish I have? My yellow watchman and royal gramma both eat very well, I just want to get the clown eating...

My clowns were finicky when they first arrived. They ate newly hatched brine shrimp readily, though, as well as formula1. They like small particles in the water column, so frozen food worked best when thawed and broken up.
