Meet my starry lawnmower blenny; also, a question regarding diet?

[Meglovin]

This is Winifred, the starry lawnmower blenny I purchased today.

The guy at my LFS said that these guys will consume mysis (for some reason, I thought that was the case as well), but I didn't see mine eat any tonight. It has gotten me a bit worried. She was mouthing the back panel of my BioCube and was mouthing one of my hermit crabs, but that was about it.

What foods should I try to feed her? I was reading online they are herbivores. As of right now, I'm primarily feeding an OmegaOne marine pellet enriched with garlic in the morning and I rotate between frozen mysis and Marine Cuisine at night. There are only two clowns in the tank with the blenny, so I want to make sure I am feeding him appropriately.

Thank you!

The Lawnmower Blenny is separate from the Starry. They are two different fish. Yours seems to be a Lawnmower. Of the two, the Lawnmower is more of a herbivore. It can be a problem to keep fed in many tanks with too little algae to sustain it. I would suggest you try Nori (dried seaweed) and even some leafy vegetables such as romaine. I know someone that feeds copious amount of broccoli to his herbivores. The Nori can be served on a clip or rubber banded to a bit of live rock rubble and placed in your rock work. This method satisfies their natural instinct to peck algae off rocks.
