No, clownfish do not eat starfish.
Clownfish prey on invertebrates caught eating or trying to eat sea anemone. The faeces of clownfish actually contains nutrients valuable to sea anemone. So, essentially, clownfish are important for the defence and growth of sea anemone.
Clownfish are omnivores, which means they eat both plants and animals.
Live food hunted by clownfish include algae, plankton, molluscs, copepods, mysids, isopods, zooplankton and crustacea. They will even eat unwanted food left by the sea anemones.
In captivity they can survive on standard fish food and fish pellets, however they may loose their beautiful natural body colours as a result. Algae accounts for around 20-25% of a clownfish's main diet and should be included in the diet of captive clownfish if they are to survive.
