Green canary blenny not eating in QT

Hi all -

I received a green canary blenny from LiveAquaria last Friday (8/21) and after drip acclimation it went into QT with a clown jester goby I got in the same shipment. I thought from my reading that the goby would be the harder to feed but in fact I'm seeing the opposite. I haven't seen the blenny take any food since QT started. It seems like its activity level has gone down as I've been observing so I'm getting a little concerned.

So far I've tried frozen mysis, Hikari Marine S pellets, flake crushed up real small, and San Francisco Bay Marine Cuisine. The goby has gone for pretty much all of it but the blenny doesn't appear interested.

Any ideas on what might tempt it?
 
I got a group of 3 from divers den about 2 weeks ago and they didn't hesitate on eating frozen brine shrimp, I put the frozen cubes on my vortech pump and let it get sucked in and pushed through the current, they go nuts. They see me coming and meet me in the feeding corner at the very top of the water, I always hesitate, afraid one might decide to bite me. Confident little guys.
