Scooter Blenny

What do you feed Scooter Blennies?

Hey,
In my limited experience they are generally grazers and pick at lr and sift your substrat. My lawnmower blennie actually loves to munch on Seaweed Selects that I added for a different fish. I was quite suprised to find the blennie munching away on it. Anyway, I believe your scooter is primarily a cleaner/scavanger type of fish and will eat stuff that makes it way to the bottom of your tank.

A scooter is very similar to a manderian fish. They like to eat tiny live critters that can be found in an established tank on the live rock.
They also like live brine and also heard of some that will eat frozen foods.

Copepods--the tiny critters mentioned on liverock. I have never had any luck getting them to eat brine shrimp, live or frozen. I am thinking about trying live tubiflex worms, because I saw one try to eat some fish poop the other day.
They are hard fish to feed, and often starve until they get sick and die. Good luck.

they are mostly scavengers... i know my lawnmower blenny constantly is picking at my back glass leaving fish lip marks and constantly pickign at my rock as well have put some squid in tank for my anenomes and noticed that there was a pieice of ti in his mouth 2 minutes later lol

A scooter and a lawnmower are 2 entirely different fish and have different requirements.
