New baby snowflakes- what do I feed them

I just picked up 2 new small snowflakes (about 1") from the CMAS frag swap yesterday and I am not sure what to feed fish that small. I have Ocean Nutrition formula 2 flakes and some NLS small pellets. Gave the tank flakes yesterday which the long term residents graciously accepted but the clowns weren't interested (adjusting to their new home?). I have some cyclops and brine shrimp in the freezer and some frozen seafood mix I made for my corals (shrimp, scallops, fish etc.) I would hate to have to buy more food to keep, store but will if i have to. Other tank mates are a royal gramma and a coral beauty in a 75g. tank. Just looking for any advice before it becomes a problem with them not eating.
Thanks
 
My smallest clown in my 20L Runt, is only 1 inch and he's almost two years old.
I feed him the same as I did my larger clowns. Formula one flakes, frozen, freeze dried or flake cyclopeeze, mysis and brine shrimp. He eats it all.
 
I have 2 clowns that are very little, maybe no more than an inch and inch and a half, I feed them frozen mysis shrimp and Formula two small pellets. I do smash the frozen mysis shrimp before giving it to them. They go CRAZY over the pellets.
 
When I originally got my snowflakes they were very small and from ORA. I called ORA and they recommended NLS small fish pellets. These pellets have worked great along with Rod's Food and now only around a month later the female is already large enough to take the regular 1mm NLS pellets.
 
I fed my clowns spectra pellets,micro pellets,they love it. i was suprise they ate it because literally my clowns were babies.
 
frozen baby brine or daphnia might work too,love the pellets though,they increase their size every week with spectra pellets.

he really is a runt. i have 30 6mth old clowns that are 1" long

Use a mortar and pestle on the flakes and pellets if you are worried it's too big for them.

+1 this what i did for my baby clowns
