Should I quaratnine my new Tailspot Blenny?

[Archer]

I'm getting a Tailspot Blenny tomorrow. My understanding is this fish primarily eats algea, which I have lots of in my show tank, but none in my quarantine tank.

My current show tank occupants (2 Oc. Clowns and a YT Damsel) are as peaceful as can be. I'm not worried they will stress him, but rather would do the quarantine to rule out disease.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Mine eats flake, modified Borneman blender mush. Very cool little fish. He picked at the algae on the LR a lot at first, but does so less and less now. Maybe you could toss a piece of LR from your display in there to start with?

Pick up some of the macro algae and put it into your QT. Not too hard.

This is good QT guidance:

I have had a tail spot for about 6-8 months. He eats just about anything I put in the tank. I feed flake formula one and two. Frozen formula one and two, also prime reef frozen and cyclopeez wafers crunched up. He hardly ever eats the algae on the rocks though.

I have one in quarantine right now.He eats everything I put in the tank.
