That sounds cool, one kind clown you have there!
Yeah just grate it when frozen, it defrosts within seconds in water, Paul b from here swears by it,his tank has been going 47years on clams.
How much is enough food?

I feed about 10g of frozen Reef Frenzy once per day in a 75 gallon tank. I think that is about the same as three cubes. Might be over-feeding, but I've decided I would rather have fat, healthy, happy fish than anything else.

My experience too. fat hungry fish are likely to recover from disease.

I’m a grandpa. Like to watch my kids eat. Omega One flakes, Mysis Spirulina flakes I feed twice a day. Pellets and dried plankton by feeder twice a day. Frozen twice a week. Fat, healthy fish and coral. Nitrates 20. Phos 0.2 Btw my opinion: teach a fish to eat clam means don’t buy a Maxima or Derasa

I feed quite a bit but then I have pretty good filtration for export...
- System info: total system size - 1900 l (about 500g)
- Total fish - 27 (2 clown, 1 damsel, 8 chromis, 3 anthias, 1 trigger, 1 foxface, 4 angels, 5 tangs, 1 mandarin, 1 royal gamma)
Daily feeding:
- 4x a small amount of pellets using an autofeeder.
- 3 cubes of frozen once a day (rotating between mysis, Prime Reef and marine quintet)
- quite a bit of Nori, basically always available when I'm at home.
Speaking of clownfish bringing food to their anemone, I have a friend with a 4,000 liter (about 1,000 gallons) reef tank. He has two clown fish and a big carpet anemone in there. For months every time he would add any live shrimp (usually cleaner shrimp I think), they would disappear one by one.
One night he spotted one of the clownfish catch one of the shrimp and feed it to its anemone! ;Wideyed ;Wacky.
The anemone was out of the tank pretty soon after that...
