What can I feed? Please help

[princess8077]

I have a HUGE lawnmower blenny I got from this site (I asked for small one) and a Sally Light Foot Crab.
2 questions in one I suppose.....
#1. Is there anything I can get to feed the LMB since I dont have all the algae for him to eat anymore (I've tried nori pieces and he's not interested)
#2 Do the SLF Crabs turn to carnivores? Mine is attacking the mysis shrimp I put in to feed some other fish.
Thanks in advance

How long have you had these guys? It could be that your LMB is just not settled in yet. I think he'll start eating after a couple of days. Some fish need to get familar with their surroundings first.
Good luck man.

Naw, I've had him since Sept....it's just now that he's eaten all the algae, there's not much to munch on anymore.

Go buy a rock with some alges on it if you think he is starving or trade him in a the LFS. I buy rocks with algea off and on for my foxface and BH tang. Thye love it.

Get a 10gal put in l/r and a small filter with grow light.
Alges will take over.
