Good basic question and good answer. Overfeeding causes many problems and everyone loves to see their fish eat. IMO, stay away from flake food, too much waste. Small pellets are ok, frozen food is great; mysiss (not brine) shrimp, formula I,, etc. Try to find some pellets or frozen that has a good amount af algae (spirulina). Clowns are omnivores and need some vegi matter. Rinse frozen foods and feed no more than they'll clean up in a few minutes. Vary their diet a bit.........good luck; keep asking basic questions and you'll do fine.
