Feeding my Bicolor Blenny

A few days ago I got a Bicolor Blenny and so far I see him pick at the LR. I have tried frozen mysis, krill. I got at the store last night some green algae strip and some garlic extract. Tonight I will try the frozen mixed with the garlic then try the algae strip. Any other suggestions. I am not sure if he is eating enough by just picking at the rock. Also I want to add a 5th fish. I have a pair of Oscellaris clowns and a mandarin. I would like a Flame Angel but was told no because of the corals. Would a Flame Haek be OK? I would like a Blackcap Basslet but it says caution when mixing with a Blenny.
Thanks

For the blenny, I would try spirulina enriched brine to start him off to frozen food - soak it in selcon if you like too. Once it starts to eat then you can try mysis and other foods. It should go for the green algae as well but may not go for it at first so get a seaweed clip and hang it in the tank for a few hours keeping an eye on it.

For the other fish, go for the flame hawk

When you say spirulina enriched Brine, what brand should I get? Then if he does not eat that maybe I will buy some live brine. I am not sure though if he can eat live brine? Seems like he picks at LR and eats the algae from there

I would try the Hikari brand if you can. You can try live to entice him also - I'm a little surprised it hasn't gone for anything yet but I'm sure it will eventually. If it is picking at the rock for algae then I would say it should eat soon!

Is it ok If I buy a few zoanthid frags to have them all placed in one bag instead of multiple bags? Could they harm each other while I drive home if they are in one bag? Easier to acclimate
Thanks,

It will get the job done but my fish seem to prefer the hikari - either way once you get him to eat anything frozen/prepared, then you should be home free. I never had an issue with a bi-color before except for taking a few days to get used to its new surroundings and then eating like a pig after that

He actually made home in a rock and also in the outtake of my uv sterilizer powerhead which is not on now. If I decide to use it again I guess he will just make another home

Have you ever tried Freeze dried brine shrimp? I have only used frozen

 

Yea freeze dried sucks IMO - fish usually don't go for it and clouds the water
