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.

Not to highjack your thread....but anyone that has the Tail-Spot...Do you have it with any other Blennies??
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.
