We bought a leopard sailfish blenny A few days ago, acclimated him for a good hour, and he went in seemingly normal. But it's been 3 days now and he won't eat. We've given him brine, marine cuisine (contains mysis) pellets, flakes, and nori but he's not going for any of it. Anyone have any tips to get him to eat? In the tank we have a pair of clowns, a pair of cardinals, and a hoevans wrasse. Any info helps, thanks!

Sometimes it just takes some time. I know my Starry Blenny didn't eat for a few days and now he's the biggest pig in the tank. I know some have suggested soaking food in garlic, but I've never tried this method.
