Anybody know why my blenny is eating the mysis shrimp I feed my clowns? I thought blenny's were herbivorous....

They'll eat other stuffs too other then just algae! Algae is their primary food source, but they do eat flakes, pellets, mysis shrimp, or any other type of frozen food you would offer.

alright good, I wasn't sure if he was starving and that was why he was eating anything. Thanks a lot.

What type of blenny is it... if its a dragonett type manderine or scooter.. you are very very lucky.. otherwise, IMO its normal, my Midas Blenny ate everything, formula 1 to cyclops...

My bi-color blenny eats everything. Everytime I go to feed he pokes his head out of his rocks and allows me to pipet feed him shrimp, flakes, pellets and small pieces of silverside from the BTA's food.
