Blenny?

[JRE83]

I bought a paice of Fiji LR from LFS that had a cave in it. When I got home this fish came out of cave. I have did some research and am pretty sure it is a sailfin blenny or something similar, can any one help ID it. If so how can I make it eat, it hasnt done so in two days now. Well I say it hasnt, I havent saw it so...........remeber I am brand newbie to this. Thanks.

It looks to me like a Lawnmower Blenny. They are an algae eating fish that are quite common in the hobby. As they get older they often times stop eating Algae however. They can get somewhat aggressive with age, so watch his temperament as he gets older.
