New fish ID and food recommendations

Who is that (I know it's a blenny, but what kind)? It doesn't want to eat anything in my qt- no frozen food nor algae sheets. What should I feed it then?

That’s a lawnmower blenny. They’re algae eaters.

Generally speaking, you should avoid buying a fish you don’t know how to care for. Do the research before you buy not after.

I know they are crazy algae eaters (that's why I bought it) but I forgot their name. I also know how to care for it (vaguely, from what I've read or was told by lfs associate) but was wondering what people think of it not eating. Ya know, just to make me worry less..

I said the same thing but my daughter was looking through the internet and the fish was slightly different. I just wanted to prove to her that her name is "lawnmower":)

@Ewelina , yours looks like one of the Salarius (lawnmower) blennies.

@Camilo castillo , yours might be Ophioblennius steindachneri
