clownfish faveourite food!?!

hi, got a pair of clowns lastweek and they dont seem to be feeding very much, they have the odd nibble but nothing much-as theyve only been in the tank a few days i realise they could still be aclimatising but wot would you reccomend as their favourite food? so far ive tried frozen brineshrimp,mysis and krill-plus the sheet of nori thats in there.

cheers, john

They should be taking all the foods you mentioned, check water quality and keep an eye on them they could just be settling in.

Hope they start feeding soon
