Fish Food

Haven't got a saltwater tank up and running yet but I was wondering what a few different opinions were on the best food stuff to feed marine fish and other aquatic life, I'm planning on keeping(maybe):

Fish population:
A pair of Bangaii Cardinals,
A pair of Ocellaris Clownfish,
A Royal Gramma,
A Fire fish,
A Six Line Wrasse &
A Blue Damsel.
+ possibly one day in the very distant future a mandarin.

Clean up crew:
Cleaner Shrimp,
Turbo Snails,
Brittle Stars,
Herit crabs,
Sally light foot Crab & or Emerald Crab
and an urchin.

Corals:
Blastomussa,
Meat Coral,
Open Brain,
Sun Polyps,
Turbinaria,
Birds Nest,
Branching Montipora,
Porites,
Green Star Polyps,
Nephthea,
Pom Pom Xenia &
Zoanthids.

and a maxima clam.

I feed my freshwater fish spectrum, brine shrimp, blood worms and zuccini, I know spectrum does marine fish food too if theres anyone whos used it or uses it could you let me know how it goes for marine species.

I and most of the guys in the fish club use a mixture of Cyclo-Peeze Frozen and Marine Snow liquid foods. The train of thought is whatever they dont get from one they will get from the other. But reading the thread that capn suggested is quite educational and you can make your own decision.
