What is the best food for Percuals? I've been feeding mine Ocean Nutrition flake with 2% garlic, frozen brine shrimp, and brine flakes. What else is out there that is better? Because she doesnt attack any of this food like I would like her too.

Mine love a mixture of frozen cyclopeeze and mysis shrimp. Keep in mind brine shrimp isn't very high in nutrition.

Clowns are perhaps the least picky eaters in the ocean!! Mine have eaten virtually every food I have thrown in there.....and even gone after my fingers a few times!! Those little orange sharks are eating machines.
As for what is best for them, mix it up. My fish never get fed the same thing in any 4 day period. The menu rotation consists of: Mysis, Formula One, Prime Reef, finely chopped clams, Squid, My custom slurry, cyclopeeze, and they even enjoy formula two!!
One or two constant sources of food will eventually lead to nutrient deficiencies so keeping it mixed up will help with that as well!

mine ripped off my fingernail and ate it...mmmmmmm calcium. Seriously mine go for anything. I would just add vitamins, and garlic. I feed mine ( they get what everyone else eats) Mysis, blood worms, sallys marine cuisine carnivore food and the herbivore. Plus flakes. I add garlic to everything except for the flakes, would be a bit messy. They will mostly pick off what the other fish eat. If their the only fish in the tank I would get the marine cuisine carnivore and herbivore, and its easy to have some flakes to toss in every noe and then
