Lawn Mower Blenny Eating?

[theplowking]

I placed a Lawn Mower Blenney in my 55 g tank two weeks ago.
I yet to see this fish eat? I have about 65 lbs of live rock and place a 3 inch strip each day of algae on a clip.
The crabs seem to be the only one eating the seaweed salad. I s there a way I can persuade this fish to eat more?

Thank You for the responses. I have seen some kiss marks on the tank. He must be eating something because he is still active and doesn't look sick or thin.
He has been very interesting fish. It is entertaining when he sits on the live rock and changes color.

i think my next fish will be a LMB. I hear nothing but praise of them...has anyone had any luck with them eating hair algae?

It took a while but I see my lmb eating a lot. He cleaned up all the algae, shined up the snail and conch shells and now he gets in on the nori sheets with the other fish. If you are seeing the kiss marks pretty soon he will probably be eating where you can watch him.

THey are so cool, and the fact that you can wake up in the morning and see the little kiss marks is WOW....

I have two of them, one in each of my tanks. AS well as leaving their precious kiss marks, mine have taken to eating frozen brine, and not shy about it at all.......my 2 cents..

Update: I saw the LMB eating last night for the first time. He sitting on top of the live rock mowing away. I think he's going to
be OK.
Thanks Again.

I was hoping to add a lmb to my 46 gal bow. Would he be compatable with a wellow watchman? No t sure they will get along? Thx.
