Lawnmower blenny won't eat. What do you feed yours?

[Macdaddynick1]

Just picked up a lawnmower blenny, and it wont eat anything. When I was buying it I asked a guy at lfs to feed it, he gave it some chopped green lettuce leafs and some mysid shrimp. Anyone here has an experience with lawnmower blenny eating lettuce? I read few people have tried it, just a bit hesitant to try it myself.

My lawnmower when I first go it didn't want to eat neither..I have never tried lettuce..but I would like to know if they do eat it too.. I have tried mysis an brine and he didn't take neither.. now I tried pellets and he loves those thing..I feed him new life spectrum marine fish formula the 1mm. And he also eat algae of the rocks and frag plugs.

Took about 3 weeks for mine to eat anything. Started him on new life spectrum pellets and then switched him over to Mysis. Try adding a couple drops of kent garlic extract to your Mysis when thawing that always makes about any fish eat.

Mine is about 4 years old, and a fatty. He only eats off the rock work.
