Did he continue to graze or wait to be fed?

Scooter blennies eat micro-fauna. Copepods and other little critters. I had to start a refugium on my tank so that the pods grow and then go into the tank. I also feed black worms and some frozen mysid shrimp and brine shrimp.
I was lucky mine eats frozen. I have heard that some don't like the frozen.
Also you need a older tank with lots of live rock. More rocks the more places for the pods to hide and breed.

My Lawnmower Blenny is hands down my favorite fish! Tons of personality and does a great job keeping the tank clean.

I would have to agree. The LMB was my first saltwater fish and it is pretty cool. Was a little aggressive towards my goby when first added but leaves it alone now. It eats everything and dances around the tank.

I have a scotter, a lawnmower, and a pink/blue watchman goby and my favorite is definetly the lawnmower. The lawnmower is in visible sight at all times and perches on rock all the time. He just has tons of personality and I love to death.

he also spends a lot of time finding a good hole to call "home" where he runs to when the lights go out, something startles him, or time to sleep.
