Lawnmower Blenny - seems hungry

[Lanie]

I just purchased a Lawnmower Blenny that always seems hungry. He nips at the live rock. I do have a little green fuzzies on the glass but he keeps that pretty clean. I have put a small piece of algae sheet in the tank and it seems to disappear overnight. There is 2 percula clowns to keep him company and I know they don't eat the algae sheets. Any suggestions? Or is he fine?

Blennys can pick at stuff all day. Thats usual for them to nip rocks and glass. Does it eat any food when you feed?. As far as the algae sheets any kind of fish might eat them. My trigger eats em! Ya never know

IIRC lawnmowers have a huge appetite. Keep the algae sheets in there, and try to mix it up a little so he doesnt get bored and starve.

never had a LMB - they sound fun to have though. FYI - my female clownfish eats algae sheets. Just wants to fit in I guess. haha.

My blue headed wrasse eats algae sheets. He steals them from the others.

I saw him eating the algae sht last night. My clowns are too picky.

mine picks at the rocks and glass all day and then eats mysis and whatever else goes in at feeding time. by the end of the day he always looks like he's gonna explode. they have a huge appetite! never saw him munch on algae sheets though
