You can give them zuchini, garlic cloves and blanched carrots
Some people say lettuce/spinach but I find that messes the tank a lot

They still need a good sinking pellet. I like to make sure their pellets have spirulina

Apart from that, my clowns LOVE and will chase each other around if Arowana drops a meal worm or a earthworm to the bottom of the tank
They also love blood worms

You could use tetrabits or any Hikari gold sinking pellets. Will help bring out the reds too.

Tetra bits, Hikari carnivore pellets, hikari sinking wafers, hikari sinking cichlid gold, australian blackworms [if my archer lets them] etc etc love keeping them happy

Regarding the zucchini cucumbers garlic carrots, do you still blanched it a bit or just give it to them straight?

I personally blanch Zucchini before feeding it to the CL's.

For shrimp in also cook it. Do anyone feed shrimps raw? How about mussels and clams? Or maybe you also blanched it? Aka medium rare?
