Anyone own a Tail Spot Blenny?

Mine eats whatever is in the tank feeding the other fish. I feed mysis, cyclops, cyclopeeze, Omega one, and keep an algae sheet in the clip daily. He does like the algae clip so make sure it gets enough greens in it's diet. Here is a couple pics of mine.

I own one. He eats EVERYTHING. Loves PE Mysis.
I usually squirt a little of the food for my tangs and angelfish that I use in my 155 into my nano that has the tailspot in it. It's a cubed frozen food called Emerald Entree made by San Francisco Bay Brand. I add some PE Mysis or ArctiPods (by ReefNutrition) to the mix. Most goes in the 155 with the tangs and then a little bit goes in the nano (like 1oz) twice a day.
He also eats algae in off the rocks, but mine won't touch an algae strip.

Thanks for the replies guys!
I tried some mysis and he spit a chunk out. I tried a fresh blend of fresh scallop and shrimp and he was wolfing it down. I tried a veggie clip with some Nori and he had no interest.
What other kind of greens can I try?

Try a frozen food made for herbivores or omnivores, like something made for angels and/or tangs. That should have some good stuff in it for him.
My tailspot is a pig, the second I put the turkey baster with food in the tank, he basically puts his mouth on the end of it
He'll eat anything, but the hair algae in my tank

It's a risk with almost all the blennies. I don't know of anyone that has one that doesn't nip, it's minor though for the most part. I know there's someone on here that has one that has grown a liking for SPS polyps.
Most of the time it's not a major issue though. The one in my 155, I'm sure he's eating something, but I haven't noticed any visible damage.

I'm waiting for a Tail Spot to come in so I can add him to my 155 with my Black Combtooth Blenny. I'll let you know how it goes.
