I just got a pair of Maroon Clowns, and they only eat forzen brine & mysis shrimp and not other dry food.

Is is okay just to give them the shrimps? If not, then how can I make them eat dry food as well?

any advice would be great

They will eat flake food, mine does. It may take a while for them to start eating. Give them a little flake each day, if they dont eat it then you can add a little shrimp. Slowly reduce the amount of shrimp you give them.

Fish won't always except dry food right away. It's good they are eating brine and mysid shrimp, but they will likely come around.

My Cinnamon Clownfish didn't start eating any food for 4-7 days, They'll eventually start eating. Good luck with your Maroon Clownfish!
