"Rescued" a fish

Today at work, a trigger beat up a green blenny that we got in from our fish delivery. He would have died in a little fish cup if I didnt take him. SO anyways, now I have a green blenny with a badly torn tail. but who seems to be healthy otherwise. What can I do to ensure his survival?

Keep your parameters stable, make sure he's eating, minimize stress from other fish bullying him, make sure he has a hiding place. If you can quarantine him that would work too, that way you could medicate if necessary.

Try feeding it dried seaweed and frozen mysis.

Any pet store. Petco and Petsmart sell them. Your LFS will sell it. My fishs' favorite brand is Julian Sprung's Sea Veggies. They come in all different colors, red, purple, brown, green. My guys like the green the best.
