I just got an innovative marine peninsula 20, and I putting an algae blenny inside because of personality they have. But I worry of it starving I don't know if there will be enough food for him (I have tank ocd). But on a tank I take care of I put an algae scrubber in it so the GHA grows but could I feed that with a mixture of herbivore flakes and nori and some fresh GHA?

Mine eats basically anything the other fish eat, mysis, brine, live black worms. He's always full though nibbling on the rock. I've heard algae wafers are a hit with them, but I've never had to supplement in my 110.

As stated, the key is to get them to eat prepared foods. I had one for over a year that constantly grazed on algae. I finally got rid of the algae and he slowly starved to death since he wouldn't eat anything else.
