Lawnmower Blenny not eating

[gear-head]

Lawnmower Blenny in QT about 4 days ago. Into the QT I put Nori on an algae clip, clumps of hair algae from main tank, three rocks from sump with algae and caulerpa on them. I've also tried all different flake foods I have and nothing so far.

Al he does is perch on a rock and watch me

Any ideas what to try next?

If I see him going thin, I'll have to chance it and end QT early. Something I don't really want to do.

Try frozen, mine liked it in qt. Also a plastic plant for him to hide under. He may be nervous.

yes the lawnmower blenny I got took almost a couple weeks for him to really start munchin down. now he's all good

OK, he's got two PVC pipes to hide in, which he's been in, but he seems to prefer perching on the rock. Go figure.

i had the same problem with mine, when i was watching he wouldnt eat, but this went on for a while so he must have been scavanging when i wasnt around. he still doesnt come out for feedings with the rest of my fish.

I'm serious, try some frozen. Mine actually prefers it.
Might have to fire him, got him to eat algae and he wants marine cruisine.
Just kidding.
