They are omnivores and will eat most any type of food. They probably won't eat Mantis Shrimp though. I bet he meant Mysis.

Brine shrimp, IMO does not have enough for them. I'd try Ocean Nutrition or BSD deli flakes.

I feed Mysis , brine, pellets, and algae sheets turned into flakes.
When I got my clowns the previous owner only fed flakes for about 2 years. It took them couple feeding days to figure out that it was something to eat.

How long have you had the clownfish and what size and what age is the tank?

Yeah, feeding "Mantis Shrimp" to a clown might result in no more clown
