Frozen foods would be best, brine shrimp are very small. And there’s also frozen baby brine. You can thaw a cube and it’ll keep in the fridge covered for about a week. If he’s your only fish a pack of frozen will last awhile. It’ll help him grow too.

They have micro-size pellets. There is also, flake food, frozen baby brine, Live baby brine, frozen reef frenzy (well shredded). There are lots of choices of foods for our fish.

I've used tdo pellets/granules for some of the smaller biota fish.

As stated above, they
I’m curious about keeping Him separate from Her in a display. It might be worth your time to keep them both together in a qt while He grows up some. They could bond and pair up in the qt together.
My concern would be if He were left too long on His own to grow that He could become Her and you’d have a harder time introducing Her to Her in the display.
Best of luck!
make tiny pellets.

I have a 1" Picasso clown who eats like crazy. What others here have said, he eats small pieces of flake food in the morning, and frozen brine and mysis in the evening. I use Ocean Nutrition flake food, and he really loves it. Just brake it down by rubbing it in your fingers first, and he should be able to eat that just fine.

I second @littlebeard try using some @Reef Nutrition TDO XS or C1/B2 size pellets. A lot of breeders (myself included) have raised clownfish completely on pellet.

My clown was about an inch when I got it. I fed frozen brine until he was large enough to eat pellets. I put a cube in a ziplock bag and let it defrost until soft enough to smush flat, then back to the freezer it went. That way I could cut off what I needed to feed each day. Less waste that way.
