    Mysis, Brine, pellets for the clowns. Leftover food for the inverts after feeding.

    clown fish like anything and everything IME
    Frozen Mysis, brine,
    pellets and flakes
    chopped prawn and other sea foods
    cyclopeeze
    frozen bloodworms ( once in a while as a treat)

    the frozen foods will be eaten by cleaner shrimps - as are flakes and pellets if they can catch them
    hermit crabs will also eat anything edible they can find

    Frozen food/shrimp etc.. isnt necessary for a biOrb life. I myself just use hikari marine S pellets that you can purchase from your lfs. Make sure you dont over feed. Hermits shrimp and other inverts mainly just eat the algae from the tank.
