He was starting to waste away to nothing over the last couple of weeks. I always offer a variety of foods including nori and other seaweed. He never took to them. Just a bummer. He is the last LMB that I will own. I'm going to go with a tail spot next (I think).
Sorry to hear this Gemmy. Your experience sounds just like ours (and Meow's):

We keep his obit pic as the wallpaper on this laptop; the woman still often says "Goodnight Herb" when shutting down. We came -->||<-- close to buying another one yesterday, but I wouldn't want to watch another one waste away.
If we do ever get another one (don't think I can avoid it), I will try cultivating "HA rocks" in the 'fuge for it to graze on.
On another note...Monday night=payback!

Slice what are ha rocks?
HA=Hair Algae, or GHA=Green Hair Algae
In another thread, a couple of us were discussing the possibility of LMBs needing more nutrition than they get in algae-free tanks, only eating nori sheets and frozen foods. We wondered if one could keep a couple of small rocks in the refugium until they are covered in algae (Hair Algae or other) to rotate into the DT for our LMB to graze on. Someone else, I *think* it was Corey, suggested those who run algae scrubbers could dry the screen cleanings and serve to LMBs.

Did your guys' blennies also take to meaty foods as well or just greens?
Our blenny ate every type of food offered until it just gave up and wasted away.

I thought mine would grab some of the frozen food that I would drop in. He was very active in my tank up until Friday night.
Here is the last pic I took of him on Wednesday:
