    The important question is what kind of blenny you're talking about :)

    I've always wondered why scooter blennies are called so, when they are look like dragonets

    They were misclassified when first discovered and the name just stuck.

    My algae blenny goes after the seaweed on the clip... but only when the blue tang isn't looking. He has to be sneaky...or else.
    I found the sushi seaweed sheets 7.5oz for $3.99 at a the local grocery store. It looks like the same thing as the 8oz bag of dried seaweed you pay $10 for at Petco or the LFS.
    I think I'll try it next time I need more.

    I agree have a pair in my tank as well , they will eat just about any thing offered to them , they also have loads of personality and they are a great addition to a reef ,
