Sailfin blenny not eating

[jasonrusso]

I bought a black sailfin blenny about a month ago. I had him in QT and he was eating about 1/4 sheet of nori every day. I put him in the DT on Saturday and I haven't seen him eat yet. There is a ton of GHA (why I bought him), but I haven't seen anything yet.

He is active and moving around all the time. He DID take 1 week to eat in QT.

Is it just a matter of time?

It's likely he'll start eating with a bit more time. While you're waiting, I'd try to give him some variety to coax him into eating. Mysis, brine shrimp, rod's food, selcon soaked nori, garlic guard, etc.

Literally the next day I started noticing patches of GHA disappearing. He has his work cut out for him!

Sorry for the washed out video.
