Starry Blenny
I just bought a Starry Blenny, first Blenny in the tank.
My tank is mainly carnivorous, however, there are a couple clowns in there. According to what I have read, the blenny is a herbivore, but he is eating the heck out of the mysis & brine shrimp I feed the rest of the tank. Is this normal??? Thanks!

Re: Starry Blenny
I like to think they are more omnivore.It would be a good idea to feed it some algae base fish food as well.I ocassionally put a piece of seaweed sheet to a veggie clip for my blenny and tangs.

Re: Starry Blenny
I know that my blenny ( a lawnmower) is supposed to love algae. But someone forgot to tell him. All he will eat is frozen mysis shrimp. ..and other fish...long story
Anyway, I think reef is right in the omnivore comment. Welcome!! this is a great site! Current Aquarium(s) Description: *55 Gallon Reef Tank, *33 Gallon Freshwater Yellow Lab Cichlid Tank, *20 Gallon looking for ideas Experience in Saltwater & Reef Aquarium Hobby: One Year

Re: Starry Blenny
Hi and welcome! What everyone else has said is right -- they are omnivorous, but you should provide him with algae sheets because he can become malnourished on a strictly meat diet.
