My lawnmower blenny will not eat hair algae?

[George Hamblin]

My lm blenny has stopped eating the excess hair algae in my tank. I have no idea why it’s just eating the mysis and flake that I am putting into my tank. I have not tried clipping nori on the side of the tank. What do you suggest?

What else is in the tank (and how are they eating)? Can you cut back on the amount of food going into the tank?

Just two clowns that’s it. I’ve cut my feeding down to once a day and still nothing.

Sometimes fish change their eating habits in response to stress events. It's also possible that the blenny is still eating some of the algae, but that it's also growing faster than the fish can keep up. How long has the tank been set up and how long have you had the fish?

Right when I saw the notification about you replying to this post, he was eating on the rocks to get the algae off LOL.
